About the employer

Croxtons Mill is an award winning* Grade II listed converted water mill located in Little Waltham. Retaining its original features the Mill offers a range of glass partitioned managed office suites, hot desks and meeting facilities. History. The Mill is a unique building which dates back to 1730. It was used as a water mill milling flour until 1934. The machinery was stripped out and it lay empty and virtually derelict until 1963 when it was converted partially into a house with a photographic studio. Croxtons Mill was refurbished at the end of 2014 and opened its doors as private managed offices and meeting room in the middle of February 2015.
