Two new businesses make the move to converted heritage building
Two businesses are set to make the move to a 19th century mill office at the centre of Park Valley Business Park in Lockwood, Huddersfield.
Park Valley House is a 6,000 sq ft heritage building, which has been converted into new office accommodation.
The two new tenants are healthcare business PROHMS Ltd, previously based at Penistone, and XCL Group from Holmfirth.
PROHMS has taken 1,050 sq ft of office space, while recruitment specialists XCL have taken 1,390 sq, leaving only one suite of 510 sq ft still available at the three-storey building.
Other occupiers of Park Valley House include Alpha UK, Reconnect Psychology Ltd and Park Valley Huddersfield Ltd, the owners and developers of Park Valley House.
Park Valley House and Park Valley Business Park have both created more than 100 sustainable jobs. Once completed, the park should be home to hundreds of employees.
Martin Duckett of Park Valley Huddersfield Ltd said: “We have been able to transform a derelict industrial site into a modern business park, with first-class industrial units and a wonderful heritage building in Park Valley House.”
Sandra Babbings of PROHMS, added: “We are celebrating our 15th anniversary this year. I founded the company in 2003 and we now a 26-strong team that has supported an estimated 4,000 employees during this time.
“Recognising the diverse needs of clients, we employ a cohort of extremely talented, friendly and experienced professionals, including nurses, occupational health physicians, and physiotherapists – to name just a few.
“Our mission is to enhance and maintain the health and wellbeing of the county’s workforces. Without a doubt, the passion, talent and dedication of our colleagues has proven integral to us consistently achieving this goal.
“We love the quality and environment of Park Valley House and feel it will be an excellent base for our clinical staff and clients. We are extremely excited by our move here.”
Sarah-Jayne Lishman, of Leeds property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips, which is marketing Park Valley House and Park Valley Business Park, also said: “Park Valley House offers magnificent character space in an impressive heritage building.
“It has been refurbished to an exceptional standard, effortlessly mixing modern and historic features, whilst the views over the River Holme and Park Valley are gorgeous.
“More specifically, it boasts fantastic lighting, on-site parking and meeting room facilities, which all create a fantastic and dynamic office environment. Altogether a significant amount of money has been spent on this very sensitive and comprehensive restoration and it shows. It is unique in this area.”
