Churchill Living was delighted to welcome celebrity guest Angela Rippon CBE to the Grand Opening of its 200th development, Coronation Lodge in West Kirby, on 11th September 2024.
Our co-Founders Spencer and Clinton McCarthy joined Angela along with apartment Owners, guests and other senior members of the Churchill team to mark this major milestone for the company. Everyone helped to officially cut the ribbon on the new development, and the event was also a chance for prospective buyers to tour the brand new apartments, all whilst enjoying a glass of fizz and nibbles in the comfort of the stunning Owners’ Lounge.
Angela Rippon said: “It was a privilege to be here for the opening of Coronation Lodge. I enjoyed meeting the people who are already calling it home, and seeing the beautiful apartments and strong sense of community on offer here. I firmly believe in the importance of staying active and engaged as we get older, so it’s great to see people embracing the next chapter of their lives on their terms by making a move that helps them to maintain their freedom and look positively to the future.”
Churchill’s Chairman & CEO Spencer J McCarthy added: “I’m very proud that this is the 200th development we have built under the Churchill name, a fantastic milestone for the business. Since my brother Clinton and I founded the company back in 1994, Churchill has established itself as the UK’s most trusted provider of specialist housing for the over 60s, and I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to this success over the years.
“Life with Churchill is about being in a quality new apartment with no more worries about maintenance, where you can enjoy friendship, security, independence, and peace of mind. It also means plenty of opportunities to join in with fun social events like this - as and when you want to. Moments like today help us recognise this achievement and celebrate with the people who matter most – our Customers.”
As with all Churchill developments, the apartments at Coronation Lodge feature beautifully fitted kitchens, a Guest Suite for visiting friends and family, and a wonderful sense of community with a variety of social events held in the Owners’ Lounge. Other benefits of the Lodge include energy efficient heating and a Lodge Manager, available Monday to Friday to help with any wants or needs.
Coronation Lodge is perfectly located for active over 60s, surrounded by a marina, galleries and museums. The area itself has a Victorian promenade, flanked by the West Kirby Marine Lake that allows boats to sail even at low tide. The development is also conveniently situated for those who want to get into the town and to the beach easily, with bus stops located less than a 5 minute walk away offering services to Moreton, Eastham Ferry and Liverpool. For those wishing to explore further afield, the train station is also within easy reach of the development with services to Birkenhead, Chester, Liverpool, Southport and Ormskirk.
