Workspace provider Regus is to open its first business centre in Shipley on the first floor of Salts Mill, a former textile mill which is now home to an arts, business, shopping and dining complex.

The site will house almost 90 workstations and offer a range of options for businesses and professionals including co-working space, virtual office services, meeting rooms and several offices of varying sizes.

Regus expects demand from local small businesses, start-ups and remote workers as well as national companies opening satellite offices and establishing a footprint in the local area.

Richard Morris, UK chief executive at Regus, said: "We're delighted to be opening our first Shipley location. The town is fast establishing itself as a thriving business destination and a prime spot for firms looking for a well-connected base in the North, so it's only right that it features in our UK expansion plans.

"Salts Mill is a thriving artistic and cultural hub and will make a perfect business base for dynamic companies.

"It's certainly a welcome addition to our network of workspace in Yorkshire."

Salts Mill was opened in 1853 by industrialist Sir Titus Salt, who built the adjoining model village of Saltaire to house the mill’s workers. The area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
