Industrial valve engineering and manufacturing company Severn Glocon and Simply Paving have taken space at the Dean Clough complex in Halifax.
Severn Glocon has secured a 2,460 sq ft of office space in Crossley Mill for its new Engineering Centre of Excellence, and Simply Paving has taken a 1,918 sq ft workspace in F Mill.
The Severn Glocon Centre will serve as a hub for advanced engineering projects, fostering collaboration across disciplines and enabling the development of cutting-edge valve technologies that meet the most stringent of industry standards and customer demands.
Jonny Walker, UK Engineering Director, Severn Glocon, said: “We are proud to launch our new Engineering Centre of Excellence at Dean Clough which marks a pivotal moment for Severn Glocon. This facility will be the engine that drives our next phase of innovation, combining industry-leading expertise with the latest technological advancements.
“Our team of highly skilled engineers will have access to the tools and resources they need to push the boundaries of what’s possible in valve design, development, and performance. It’s a significant investment in our people and processes, reinforcing our commitment to engineering excellence.”
The Engineering Centre of Excellence at Dean Clough will play a critical role in Severn Glocon’s training and development programmes, offering a unique environment for upskilling future engineers and deepening expertise across the organisation. It will support the company’s talent pipeline.
Simply Paving is a supplier of Bradstone paving and landscaping products, and a trading division of Aggregate Industries UK Ltd, itself part of global operator, Holcim. Dean Clough becomes the new headquarters for Simply Paving which provides paving products direct to the customer as well as to the trade sector UK-wide.
Jeremy Hall, Chairman and MD at Dean Clough Ltd, said: “We welcome Severn Glocon and Simply Paving to the Dean Clough family. This demonstrates that if we invest in the right environment, we can indeed attract global operators to the thriving town of Halifax as a viable alternative to city centre locations.
“We truly believe that a diverse amenity and cultural experience – as we have at Dean Clough – is so vitally important in creating the environment that people want to come to and work within. This is a key ingredient in attracting major business occupiers, alongside the indisputable carbon benefits that the reuse of historic buildings brings for sustainable practice.
“There is such a vibrant offering on site now at Dean Clough, with a fabulously diverse range of cafes, bars, restaurants, beauty and hair salons, wellbeing centres, therapists, retailers, galleries, event space, a theatre and even an onsite creche. With the enviable combination of landscaped space, engaging public realm, and ample onsite parking, we feel that Dean Clough contributes so much to the overall cultural reputation that Calderdale so richly deserves.”
