Ancora Law has become the newest occupier of Minster House in Beverley after its refurb by property developer Wykeland Group.
The move is the latest milestone in Ancora’s journey with Wykeland, and means Minster House is now fully occupied for the first time.
Matt Hudson, Founder and MD of Ancora Law, said: “We have grown year on year since our inception at the beginning of 2020 and, until now, our office moves have always been fairly reactionary – with each new hire, we have moved to a slightly bigger unit.
“We felt that now was the time to recognise our growth and invest in an office space that is fit for the future.”
Minster House was built in 1816 as a warehouse used for the former Hodgson Tannery, which remained one of Beverley’s largest employers until its closure in 1978. The building was used as offices in the following years, but was vacant for more than a year before Wykeland began a restoration and reconfiguration scheme in 2019.
Wykeland invested more than £550,000 in bringing Minster House back to life, equipping it with a new entrance lobby, atrium and glass lift, making the building fully accessible for the first time, as well as adding new toilets and showers, and secure cycle storage.
The refurbished Minster House now offers over 9,000 sq ft of offices over three floors and forms part of Wykeland’s thriving Flemingate centre, which combines retail, leisure and commercial space.
