York Guildhall now open for business

York’s Guildhall has re-opened this month after a £21.7m restoration, with the first businesses taking up residence in its new office and co-working spaces.

York Science Park has taken a 15-year lease on The Guildhall and is managing the complex, turning it in to a thriving business hub. Alongside the offices is the beautifully restored Main Hall which offers a stunning events space, available for business or private use including weddings.

 

The York Science Park team operates the facilities and also offers support for businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups looking to grow. Any business that relocates to The Guildhall can plug in to a network of research, funding and collaboration available through the University of York.

Speaking to York Press, Olivia Chatten, Business Development Manager said: “We are bringing more diversity of businesses into the city. They are taking hot desks or co-working desks. Companies in other cities whose staff want to come to York can use the Guildhall as a meeting space for clients, or hot desk for the day.

“It is really satisfying to see the businesses so enthused, and it is amazing to support businesses from other parts of the country,” said Olivia. “That inward investment to York is so important.”
