Firm puts faith into town
PR, SOCIAL and content specialist Faith is to expand and invest in Brighouse by creating a vibrant creative hub which will house its team and be a hub to support other new and growing businesses across the area.
Faith owner Stefanie Hopkins has bought a historic Victorian building and one-time pub in the heart of the town’s business district.
Work is now underway to transform Vulcan House, on Foundry Street, into the agency’s new headquarters and co-working space, to be called BrigHub.
The 2,780 sq ft space over three floors, built in 1869, will house a substantial open-plan office space for Faith, with three further office spaces, a large meeting room, communal kitchen and dining area which will be available as part of Brighouse’s first ever co-working space.
BrigHub will offer flexible hotdesking and meeting solutions for freelancers, remote workers and growing firms to create a new base for working and socialising. A renovation project on Vulcan House has begun and it’s hoped the building will open its doors this summer with Faith’s team moving in subject to Covid-19 rules in the coming weeks.
Stefanie Hopkins, Faith founder and managing director, said: “Brighouse is our home and I am excited to be able to invest in the town and our business community after what has been a hugely challenging 12 months.
“Vulcan House has huge potential and is steeped in local history. Our investment will ensure it serves the local community for decades to come by providing a perfect home for the next chapter of our journey at Faith and allowing others to begin and develop their business story in a supportive, friendly and creative environment.
