Jobs boost at mill site

“That is a resounding endorsement of the quality of this development. We are also delighted by the number of jobs that have been created on site, which have provided a timely and significant boost to the Huddersfield economy.

“Now that the four phases of our industrial development at Park Valley Mills have been completed and are fully let, we are turning our attention to two more jewels in the Park Valley Mills crown – Park Valley House and the Mending Rooms.”

Park Valley House, a 6,000sq ft 19th century mill office, which has been restored to its former glory, has 2,640sq ft of office accommodation available to lease, while the Grade II Mending Rooms offer 20,400sq ft of office space over four floors.

Mr Duckett said: “We are currently exploring funding and investment opportunities to transform this wonderful building into Grade A modern offices.”

Sarah-Jayne Lishman, of Leeds property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips, which is marketing Park Valley Mills, said: “This is a superb development for Huddersfield, which has created jobs and regenerated the area. So much has been achieved already – and we look forward to attracting occupiers to both Park Valley House and the Mending Rooms.”

Paul Kemp, assistant director for investment and regeneration for Kirklees Council, said: “It is fantastic to see what has been achieved here.

“The transformation of a neglected site into what we see here today is amazing, and Park Valley Business Park will provide muchneeded expansion space for businesses to the Huddersfield area.”
