Beal Homes reveals plan for new £4.5m headquarters near Hull

The home builder, which has experienced rapid growth in recent years, has unveiled plans for a showpiece new head office at Wykeland Group’s Bridgehead business park in Hessle near Hull.

A planning application has been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for the two-storey building which will see the family-owned housebuilder relocating just 100 yards across the road from its existing home to a new £4.5m building next to the Porsche Centre at Bridgehead.

The move also sees Beal working again with Wykeland, owner and developer of Bridgehead, after they worked together as joint venture partners in the regeneration of Hull’s Fruit Market urban village.

The move comes after Beal began work in the summer to build 800 homes in Google.Almost half of the floorspace will be devoted to an expanded Design Lounge and areas dedicated to customer service, including to host launch events for new developments.

Chief executive Richard Beal, inset,said: “This is a major statement of our confidence in the future of the business and the housing market in Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire where we operate.

“This building will be both the headquarters of our business and a highly-visible shop window and showroom for the quality of our homes and the outstanding customer experience we’re known for.

“It will also offer a superb working environment for our excellent team. Post-Covid, people will care even more about the quality of their workplace and that will be a key issue in retaining and recruiting talented staff.”

Pending planning approval, construction is expected to begin early next year with the new head office due to open in the first quarter of 2022.
