A FLOURISHING online cocktail company, which was set up during the Covid pandemic, is moving into Sunny Bank Mills, the iconic Yorkshire mill complex at Farsley between Leeds and Bradford.
Canvas, which creates cocktails to enjoy at home, is taking studio space in Sandsgate, the mill’s historic Edwardian office.
During the past ten years Sunny Bank Mills has been transformed into a modern office and mixed-use complex for the 21st century, creating 400 sustainable new jobs.
Jonny Shields, co-owner of Canvas with his partner Jess, said: “This is a big move for us. We love the mill for the fact that it's a beautifully curated space, both in terms of the aesthetic, which harks back to days gone by, and also because of the wide range of businesses here."
He added: “The move will allow us to grow in both production capacity and creativity. We launched at the beginning of last year, making experience-led cocktails at home. Canvas is about the whole experience of a cocktail rather than just the liquid, and so we make cocktails at home feel like cocktails at the bar."
In recent months new businesses have moved into the complex, including LSW London.
