When buildings are repurposed for work, they can spark new opportunities whilst honouring what came before. Thoughtful conversions breathe new life into old structures, transforming them into places where people can create, collaborate, and grow businesses. By retaining the character and fabric of existing buildings, we can support sustainable development and maintain local identity, whilst providing flexible, modern spaces that meet the needs for all.

Look across the road towards a modern 5-storey multi-brick building with large glass corner features with black uPVC with a central metal and glass liftway adjoining to a 4-storey historic red-brick mill with stone arch details.
