A PSYCHOTHERAPIST, a brand and market agency and an IT support company are all relocating to a successfully renovated mill complex.
The three new deals at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley, include Kaleidoscope Psychology and Psychotherapy, brand and marketing agency So Contented and IT support company CTek.
During the past 11 years Sunny Bank Mills, where YTV’s Emmerdale and Heartbeat used to be filmed, has been transformed into a modern office, retail and leisure complex.
It is now home to 75 companies, which employ a total of almost 400 staff.
William Gaunt, joint managing director of Edwin Woodhouse and Co, the owners of Sunny Bank Mills, said: “We are delighted to welcome Kaleidoscope, So Contented and CTek to Sunny Bank Mills. They are excellent examples of quality businesses being attracted to a quality business environment.
“Their moves underline the flexibility of space at Sunny Bank Mills, which is now attracting an exciting range and breadth of occupiers.”
Paul Walton, founder and managing director of Kaleidoscope, which has relocated from Far Headingley, said: “It is such a wonderful, creative and innovative space. It really speaks to the importance of community and collaboration, of relationships and connections. There's something very special about this part of Farsley, and we're very excited to be able to work from this beautiful location and help people build better relationships with one another and with themselves.”
Meanwhile Gemma Edwards, co-founder and director of So Contented, relocating from Bradford Road in Leeds, added: ““We were also really impressed with the number and variety of other businesses in the mill. We were attracted by its fabulous location with loads of lovely food and drink places in the mill, as well as the greenery around it. We think it's going to be great for our work life and culture.”
Finally Howard Haigh, managing director of Ctek, which is relocating from Eccleshill, explained that Sunny Bank Mills was the perfect base for his IT support company.
He said: “We have a much more hands on personal service than the current fad for support over the phone. We do a remote support too but it’s intermingled with site visits. We mainly have customers in West Yorkshire but do have some as far away as Liverpool and Warrington. Sunny Bank Mills is well-located for our clients.”
