Business support organisation E-Factor has completed the purchase of a prominent Grimsby town centre property.
St James’ House is now part of the portfolio, with plans to turn it into a hub exclusively for businesses. It is seen as a vital step in the transformation of St James’ Square - and had previously been earmarked for demolition.
A £1.5 million slice of Towns Fund money, twinned with “significant” private investment will see it repurposed, having agreed an undisclosed deal with the Parochial Church Council. Built in the early 1970s as part of the Bullring redevelopment, for many years it provided offices and meeting space for a variety of organisations, including the local authority and the BBC, while also providing accommodation for the parish office.
