Brand builder Miller Graphics Group has become the first occupier of a revamped landmark building in Beverley.
The company has been based in Bridlington for almost three decades, and operates in 11 countries worldwide, providing digital brand imaging and other services to its many clients.
Now it has relocated to the top floor of Minster House, which has been sympathetically modernised by Hull developer Wykeland Group in a £550,000 restoration and refurbishment programme.
Miller Graphics 海角视频 has also invested £40,000 to create the perfect space for its 20-strong team.
Two floors of the 10,000 sq ft building, part of Flemingate Centre, remain available, with suites available from 1,325 sq ft to 6,180 sq ft.
Ged Crossland, Miller's Beverley site manager, said: “We’re really excited to have moved in and to be enjoying much improved facilities in a lighter, more characterful, yet modern office.
“Bridlington and the East Coast is lovely, but it’s isolated. Beverley has a much more central position and Minster House is a fantastic find in a great location, as there are shops, restaurants, bars and a hotel on our doorstep.
“One of the key reasons for this move is that we want to be in a location where it’s easier to attract new people and clients, because we’re all about growth.

The infrastructure for digital businesses is great, the digital community at the C4DI tech hub in Hull is a massive draw and this brings us closer to them, which is all so positive.”
The team offers a range of services, from design, artwork and reprographics for packaging through to 3D imagery and animation for use in e-commerce, social media and television, and promotional and marketing materials.
Third floor office space includes room for up to 10 additional members of staff, as well as a boardroom, meeting spaces and amenities.
Minster House dates back to the 19th century and was once used as a warehouse for Hodgson’s Tannery, which was one of Beverley’s biggest employers for more than 150 years until its closure in 1978.
