Company makes move to town’s first Grade A office scheme

A FAST-growing Beverley company is gearing up for its move to the first Grade A offices in the town.

Local Transport Projects (LTP) has taken 2,200 sq ft of first-floor offices at Armstrong House, part of regeneration company Wykeland Group’s Flemingate development.

Directors Tony Kirby and Andy Mayo committed to Armstrong House after inviting their entire team to visit their prospective new premises.

Mr Kirby said: “It wasn’t just us who choose these offices. We’ve got a cracking team who have been integral to the growth and success of the business and we couldn’t make a decision like this without their input.

“As part of the decision-making process we brought everyone over to Armstrong House to take a look around and ask them what they thought. They could see the benefits of being here.”

He added: “We have worked with Wykeland for quite a long time, including on Flemingate, so we know the quality of its developments. We’re also members of C4DI in Hull – another Wykeland development – and that space inspired us.

“We didn’t want to go to a soulless industrial estate. We wanted to be part of the buzz of the town centre. That’s important not just for us, but for our staff and recruiting new staff as well.

“We also have a relatively young staff, so it was important we were somewhere that met their needs, where they can socialise after work, can do their shopping at lunchtime and are not reliant on travelling by car, as we have very close access to public transport. Everything is on the doorstep here.”

LTP supplies professional traffic engineering, transport planning and highway design services to the public and private sectors, with a diverse client list ranging from individual landowners to major blue-chip businesses. High-profile local projects have included developing the travel plan for the University of Hull campus redevelopment and highways assessment and design work for RB’s £105m research and development centre of excellence in Hull.

The directors formed the company 12 years ago and it now has a staff of 15.

LTP’s offices at Armstrong House are more than twice the size of its current premises in Beverley and the company will move in next week, following completion of the fit-out by Hull-based Chameleon Business Interiors.

Armstrong House has a further two suites available to let – 4,000 sq ft on the first floor and 4,000 sq ft on the second floor. The suites can be split as required.

The £120m Flemingate development – Beverley’s largest-ever regeneration scheme – includes brands such as Debenhams and H&M and is also home to the East Riding College campus, an 80-bed Premier Inn hotel and six-screen digital cinema, Parkway.
