Global operators select converted mill complex for regional offices
Dean Clough, a 22-acre mixed use commercial destination in Halifax, has agreed new deals to let regional office space to two businesses.
Severn Glocon, an industrial valve engineering and manufacturing company, has secured 2,460 sq ft of office space in Crossley Mill at Dean Clough for its new Engineering Centre of Excellence.
The centre will serve as a hub for advanced engineering projects, fostering collaboration across disciplines and enabling the development of cutting-edge valve technologies that meet stringent industry standards and customer demands.
Jonny Walker, UK engineering director, Severn Glocon, said: “We are proud to launch our new Engineering Centre of Excellence at Dean Clough which marks a pivotal moment for Severn Glocon.
“This facility will be the engine that drives our next phase of innovation, combining industry-leading expertise with the latest technological advancements.
“Our team of highly skilled engineers will have access to the tools and resources they need to push the boundaries of what’s possible in valve design, development, and performance.
“It’s a significant investment in our people and processes, reinforcing our commitment to engineering excellence.”
Meanwhile, Simply Paving has secured a 1,918 sq ft workspace in F Mill at Dean Clough.
The supplier of Bradstone paving and landscaping products is a trading division of Aggregate Industries UK Ltd, which is a part of global operator, Holcim.
Dean Clough becomes the new headquarters for Simply Paving which provides paving products direct to the customer as well as to the trade sector UK-wide.
Jeremy Hall, chairman and managing director at Dean Clough Ltd, said: “We are pleased to secure these new office deals and very much welcome Severn Glocon and Simply Paving to the Dean Clough family.
“This demonstrates that if we invest in the right environment, we can indeed attract global operators to the thriving town of Halifax as a viable alternative to city centre locations.
“We truly believe that a diverse amenity and cultural experience – as we have at Dean Clough – is so vitally important in creating the environment that people want to come to and work within.
“This is a key ingredient in attracting major business occupiers, alongside the indisputable carbon benefits that the reuse of historic buildings brings for sustainable practice.”
