The Business Hive at St James’ House in Grimsby Town Centre is set to become a key player in the area’s business landscape. Phase one of the building is nearly ready for a spring opening, and five businesses have already secured spaces. The ground floor is fully let.
The Business Hive is part of a broader initiative to revitalise Grimsby’s town centre. Other major projects include the Freshney Place Leisure, Foodhall & Market scheme, a new youth zone, residential development at Alexandra Dock, and a new diagnostic centre. These projects are expected to attract more foot traffic and create a thriving hub for business and industry.
Funded by a £1.5 million Towns Fund grant, the renovation of St James’ House will provide a variety of spaces for businesses. Phase one includes a café and business space for the NSPCC and office space for 18 small businesses, five of which are already occupied. The second floor will feature a business hub and event space, while the top floor will offer a professional office space, with plans for a rooftop events terrace. The E-Factor team, which supports over 300 members, expects the space to be a hub for business gatherings and collaboration.
