Sirius Minerals set for Yorkshire HQ move
Sirius Minerals, the company behind the £2.3bn York potash mine project, is moving into new headquarters in Scarborough.
The company has taken on 55,000 sq ft for its HQ at Prospect House in Scarborough.
The site was formerly home to Scarborough Building Society and sits at the town’s southern gateway.
The fertilizer development company already has a base in Scarborough, but required bigger premises as it aims to grow its team there from 70 to 160 this year.
Gareth Edmunds, external affairs director for Sirius Minerals Plc, adds: “We are very pleased to secure a building that meets the needs of our business. It’s great to be able to bring an iconic building in the town back into productive use and we hope this can offer further encouragement to other businesses considering investing here on the Yorkshire coast.”
Design and interiors consultancy Saracen Interiors, which has worked with Mitie Engineering, coca Cola, Countrywide, Redrow Homes and BAE Systems, has been hired for the fit out, and started on site earlier this month.
Director of Saracen Interiors, Michael Page said: “We’re pleased to have won this important contract as we were initially up against pretty stiff competition, including some of the UK’s leading main contractors. We have been building a profile in Yorkshire for some time and this is our biggest contract win in the region to-date.
“We’re particularly delighted that we are working on such a prominent and well-known site in Scarborough as we know there will be a wide interest in the end results, which will give us further opportunity to showcase our work.”
