Dean Clough rides wave of interest with seven new independents moving in

Dean Clough in Halifax is to be the home of seven new independent operators together having taken almost 5,000 sq ft on the historic 22-acre site.

The former mill complex has been transformed as a place for work rest and play for about 3,000 people, and continues redevelopment to provide unique spaces.

K Jones Interiors has secured a new space within the recently renovated Bowling Mill Courtyard to provide residential and commercial interior design consultations. Session stylist Dawn Walsh has also taken space for a new hair salon, whilst beautician, Alina Balika has relocated her studio to be at Dean Clough.

Dot The Jewellers, which has been designing unique, custom jewellery for over 20 years has relocated to occupy one of the new retail units following recent redevelopment of the historic D Mill Courtyard.

Piece by Piece Physiotherapy has set up a clinic to offer expert help for back pain, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, concussions, and vertigo. This complements existing wellbeing services.

Northpark Pictures has also secured a lease for a new studio at Dean Clough. The multi award winning film production company produces video and content for brands including McDonalds, Virgin Atlantic, Enterprise and Oxo.

The Engine Room, a firm favourite café at Dean Clough for the last ten years, has secured a new lease on its 1,130 sq ft premises following new ownership.

Jeremy Hall, Chairman and MD at Dean Clough Ltd, said: “Independent businesses are the life blood of our high street, and we are always keen to offer flexible lease structures to support them. We warmly welcome them into the Dean Clough family which continues to provide choice, innovation, diversity, and authenticity for our audiences.

“We are progressing apace to expand the provision of high quality, Grade A workspaces for large and small businesses and we are unique in terms of the doorstep provision which includes considerable cultural experiences.”

Dean Clough is located on the edge of Halifax town centre, between Leeds and Manchester, and just 15 minutes from the M62 with direct train links to Leeds, Manchester, and London.
