Expansion prompts move to bigger offices for not-for-profit group

Community Transport Association has upgraded from its existing West Yorkshire premises, signing a six-year lease on a suite within the refurbished Parkview House – part of Woodvale Office Park in Brighouse.

The not-for-profit required more space to operate from, so upsized from the 1,600 sq ft suite on the second floor, to the larger, 2,250 sq ft premises within the same building — owned and managed by Towngate PLC.

Community Transport Association comprises three divisions — CT Passenger: a transport service that delivers contracts for local education, health, and third sector organisations, CT Furniture: collecting and selling second-hand donated items in stores across the West Midlands and Newcastle, and CT Training: which delivers transport-related training to private, public, and third sector organisations.

Suite 1A is within the first floor of Parkview House — a former silk mill built in the 1800s.

Matthew Haslehurst, finance director of Community Transport, said: “We were looking for a new residence which would suit the needs of our growing organisation. The suite is bright, modern, and offers the space that will allow us to expand even further.”

Julia Ford, marketing manager at Towngate PLC, added: “We are so pleased to be able to assist in the growth of Community Transport within their existing home at Parkview House.

“The move has allowed the charity to relocate to a modern, refurbished, open plan office which offers the flexibility of a separate training room, meeting room, and break out facilities without sourcing alternative accommodation away from the Woodvale Office Park.”
