"Not only does this move give us the extra working space and facilities that we need in order to meet our current commitments, it also offers us scope for even further expansion to meet orders which are in the pipeline," commented LSS’s managing director, James Boother.

The Old Forge – complete with its exposed roof beams - comprises a distinctive and historic site for LSS’s new headquarters.

It is close to Hatfield House, a Jacobean mansion built on the site of the Royal Palace of Hatfield which, among other things, was the childhood home of both the future Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I. Since 1611, it has been the home of the Cecil family and is currently the home of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.

Mike Goatly, LSS’s technical director, commented: ""In those days, the forge, or smithy, was the powerhouse of the economy. In many ways, software has taken over that role – so it’s appropriate that our company is now based in the Old Forge."

About Hatfield House

Hatfield House is built on the site of the Royal Palace of Hatfield which, among other things, was the childhood home of both the future Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I.

Indeed, the Queen Elizabeth Oak on the grounds of the estate is said to be the location where Elizabeth was told she was Queen following Mary's death. In November 1558, Elizabeth held her first Council of State in the Great Hall.

The palace, built in 1497 by the Bishop of Ely, was later seized – along with other church properties - by Henry VIII. The present Jacobean house was built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, First Earl of Salisbury and Chief Minister to King James I and it has been the home of the Cecil family ever since. It is currently the home of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.

The Third Marquess of Salisbury was three times Prime Minister during the closing years of Queen Victoria's reign.
