Group launches purpose-built headquarters

Sixth-generation family business, John Good Group, has officially opened the doors to its new Hull head office – Quarry House.

The HQ accommodates nearly 70 members of staff and has been designed to encourage collaboration and innovation and to also attract the best talent.

It is is home to the group’s central services team, Good Travel Management, DAN Shipping and new tenant, the community interest company For Entrepreneurs Only (FEO), with sufficient space to support the company’s ongoing growth.

Adam Walsh, CEO of the group, said: “The official opening of Quarry House is a significant milestone for us, celebrating not just a new office, but the culmination of two years of transition and growth.

“Quarry House, alongside our beautiful Hesslewood Office Park, provides the perfect environment for our team today and for future generations of employees and business partners.

“Quarry House is also a testament to John Good Group’s commitment to sustainability and investing in creating a working environment that prioritises both well-being and performance.

“The project team, led by our chief financial officer Ben Norman, with input from Julie Ornsby, Steve Pullen, Darren Howden, and Michelle Taft, have done a superb job.

“They should be congratulated for what they have delivered for the business and their colleagues.”

The opening of the headquarters coincides with the group’s recent achievement of becoming operationally carbon neutral, alongside plans for further emissions reductions.

Its sustainable approach is evident in the choice of materials used throughout Quarry House. These include locally sourced timber, recycled fishing nets repurposed into a boardroom carpet, and reclaimed materials from a Canary Wharf building for raised access flooring.
