Hearing clinic has room for expansion following move to business hub

A Harrogate hearing clinic is set to expand its specialist services after a move to new premises enabled the business to offer a wider range of health treatments.

The Yorkshire Hearing Clinic has completed its switch to a new suite of rooms at Windsor House, with plans in place to deliver expert chiropody, podiatry and physiotherapy treatments.

With 1,500 clients on their books, the husband-and-wife team of Andy and Rebecca Armitage provide ear wax removal and hearing test/hearing aid support across North Yorkshire.

Their new offices at the Cornwall Road office hub will see the business expand from a single room, to a base with three clinics and a waiting room, with fellow Windsor House tenants and interior experts RU Creative carrying out the refurbishment works.

Clinical director, Andy Armitage, said: “We are really excited to be moving to the new offices and cannot wait to welcome our patients to what is a much more comfortable and suitable space for them to visit.

“By expanding from the one clinic to having three available rooms, we will now be looking to introduce a wider range of treatments, such as podiatry and chiropody, so that we are more of a health clinic rather than simply a hearing clinic.

“My passion is to help people with their hearing issues, but if we can also support them with further health professionals joining us, then I believe there are significant benefits of having us all under the same roof.”

Windsor House, situated on Cornwall Road across from the Valley Gardens, was built as a hotel in the early 1900s and has been transformed into a business hub offering 75,000 sq ft of office space for more than 100 tenants.

As well as on-site car parking and reception services, it also features the Palm Court meeting area, The Pantry café, showering and bike storage facilities and meeting room options.

Windsor House property manager, Karen Winspear, said: “We are pleased to have been able to help Andy in his search for a bigger and more suitable office space.

“The Yorkshire Hearing Clinic have been a tenant here for many years and it is very exciting to witness Andy’s business expansion plans.”
