New HQ for construction specialists

Mitchell and Urwin, which supplies build coordination, materials and labour to housebuilders, has relocated from York to Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, on a site adjacent to its existing brickworks.

Founded by Richard and Susan Urwin in 1996, the company has grown steadily with a large workforce, incorporating its Ferrybridge manufacturing facility, which creates cast stone and brick specials on demand.

Its new 1,000 sq ft offices, designed by Annalisa McCartney, feature COVID-secure interactive workspaces suitable for modern day working.

Mitchell and Urwin’s legal advice on the relocation was provided by Andrew Jackson Solicitors LLP, led by commercial property partner Helen Mellors, who was supported by associate Hannah Farmer.

Susan Urwin said: “We recognised the need to reposition and realign the business, including our cost base and work spaces, to meet the challenges of this new era.

“In doing so, we wanted to make a strong new statement for the business and our wonderful team of people. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of Andrew Jackson Solicitors.”

Mellors added: “Andrew Jackson is delighted to be supporting Mitchell and Urwin in this new phase of their ongoing development.

“Having worked with Susan and Richard over many years I have every respect for their commitment and values, and the way they have driven the business successfully during what has been a challenging period for us all.”
