Four new deals for ex-Emmerdale mill

Four new deals have been completed at Sunny Bank Mills, the iconic Yorkshire mill complex between Leeds and Bradford.

The deals, featuring tenants from the retail, leisure, IT recruitment and engineering consultancy sectors, underline the renaissance of Sunny Banks Mills in Farsley, where YTV’s Emmerdale and Heartbeat were filmed.

It is now home to more than 70 companies, who employ a total of 355 staff.

Three new tenants, Adesse Search, fit20 and Arlington Interiors, have moved into Sunny Bank Mills, while the rapidly-expanding Adept Consulting Engineering have relocated into larger offices within the mill complex.

William Gaunt, joint managing director of Edwin Woodhouse, the owners of Sunny Bank Mills, said: “These four deals underline the versatility and flexibility of space at Sunny Bank Mills, which is attracting an exciting breadth of occupiers. They also illustrate the strength of the post-Brexit Yorkshire economy, with all three companies having the confidence to invest in new premises and in their future.

“More specifically, a boutique IT recruitment consultancy, a pioneering gym operator and a successful kitchen retailer are fantastic additions to the Sunny Bank Mills community, while the decision by Adept Consulting to move into bigger premises at Sunny Bank is a tremendously heartening endorsement of our development.”

Sarah-Jayne Lishman of Leeds-based property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips commented: “The refurbishment of Sunny Bank Mills is a complete triumph, a wonderful balance of cutting edge modern employment space in an environment rich in history and heritage. The attention to detail is stunning and the mills now provide arguably the finest space in the Leeds-Bradford corridor.”
The joint marketing agents for Sunny Bank Mills are the Leeds office of JLL.
