IMPACT International, a multi-award winning business focused on transforming the impact of leadership in organisations, is to take over the old Kelsick Grammar School, Ambleside, members of Lakes Parish Council were told.
Councillors heard the company, currently based at Ecclerigg, Windermere, intend to restore the old building and create office space and a residential training centre for its operations.
Proposals a year ago by developers to transform the building into a five star hotel with additional traffic flow up Stock Ghyll Lane was opposed by local residents. However, councillors welcomed Impact’s use of the building and described it as 'a very good outcome'.
