"Bretby Hotel & Conference Centre" looks like "The Bretby Centre" and "The Demonstration Hall"

Can anyone confirm?

I believe the offices were sold off. A company I used to work (Building surveyors) for rented an office there back around 2004. I don't know if that helps?

As stated there is a conference centre on the site. Some of the offices are let out to different companies, there is the old laboratory analysis set up which is ESGL (TES Bretby) which still does scientific work for coal mines such as "dust sample analysis" and gas detection repair and calibration.
