Leading capital infrastructure and engineering services company Avove has signed a new five-year lease for Suite 1A at Towngate PLC’s Parkview House, Brighouse, marking a major step in the company’s ambitious expansion plans.
Following significant growth, Avove operates from more than 20 offices and local hubs across the UK. With this latest addition, the company enhances both its national presence and ability to support critical utilities projects in water, power, and vegetation management.
The 2,200 sq ft office space at Parkview House forms part of the larger, 32,000 sq ft Woodvale Office Park. Situated in the heart of Brighouse, the location offers excellent transportation links via the M62 and local railway station, providing convenient access to clients and teams across the UK – crucial for supporting the firm’s national operations.
Featuring exposed brickwork reflective of the building’s early 1800s silk mill heritage, a glazed meeting room, a modern kitchenette, high-quality first-floor WCs, and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, the space couples historic charm with state-of-the-art facilities to support Avove’s rapidly growing design team. Externally, they will also benefit from EV charging points, generous parking provisions, and bicycle stores, all set within attractive landscaped surroundings.
Julia Ford, marketing manager at Towngate PLC, commented: “With the careful restoration and refurbishment of this space, we’ve created an inspiring environment that’s perfectly suited to the needs of a dynamic design team. Offering purpose-built facilities, well-connected transport links, and a flexible blend of collaborative and independent workspaces, we’re confident the suite will be a valuable addition to Avove’s growing office portfolio, setting the stage for further success.”
The move into a new office follows a series of significant strategic wins for the company as it progresses into AMP8+ (water) and RIIO-ED2 (power) framework contracts, working across England, Scotland, and Wales. These achievements, alongside existing customer growth, have resulted in Avove doubling in size since its formation in 2022.
James Heads, Avove’s technical director, added: “We are a local employer and already have an office based in Brighouse for our operational team supporting our Yorkshire Water framework, so we knew the location was an ideal fit for the business. Due to our ambitious growth plans, we needed extra space to accommodate a growing headcount and enable our design team to thrive. Towngate’s Parkview facility provides exactly that, and with the firm’s trusted reputation, this felt like the perfect match.
“This office facility enhances our sustainable aspirations with the use of LED fittings and recycled furniture throughout the space. As we continue to support the critical needs of the utilities sector, our focus on innovation will take centre stage too. We’re looking forward to shaping the future of our national infrastructure and seeing where our next growth phase takes us.”
The letting leaves approximately 6,000 sq ft available within Parkview House, spanning across two floors, with lots of early interest.
