bought by a company connected with lawyers Mr. Richard Pearman and Mr. James Pearman.

The Tri-M building, on Gorham Road, Pembroke, was sold by businessman Mr.

Tommy Mahoney some two months ago.

A spokesman for the Bank of Bermuda said its staff would remain at the site until its new building in Hamilton is completed next year.

Mr. Richard Pearman would not comment on plans for the building.

It was built in 1965 and was rebuilt by Mr. Mahoney in 1980 after he moved his business, the Quickie Lickie Laundromat, which he sold in 1986, to a new site.
