Jobs created at Masterplan Mill

The latest company to relocate to Dalton Mills is looking to recruit, despite the credit crunch. Jobs will be created at Dalton Mills in Keighley, by The Retail Factory, who is the latest tenant in the iconic Clock Tower.

The Retail Factory, one of the UK’s leading retail and office supplies firms, have signed a five-year lease at Dalton Mills, with Magna Holdings Ltd. This is a great boost for the Clock Tower, where 20,000 sq ft of high quality office space has been created as the first phase of the mill’s multi-million pound makeover.

The Retail Factory has enjoyed rapid growth, despite only being set up two years ago, and the company is keen to recruit staff in telesales and E-Commerce. They are hoping that the revamped Keighley College and the renewed technology focus in Airedale will help to provide the skillset they need.

Simon Wadsworth, director of the Retail Factory comments: “As a young, expanding company, the move to Dalton Mills provides us with the right platform for the next stage of our growth. Although we deliver nationwide, we’re also keen to play our part in the local business community. We’re always looking for good people, whether it’s in Telesales and E-commerce.”

The Retail Factory is a one-stop shop for office supplies for retail, factory or office based businesses, with a national client base. Their success so far stems from their vast range of over 25,000 products, and the great discounts and savings that they can pass on to companies, which is particularly important in the current climate. They were shown the space at Dalton Mills by Magna’s Keighley based letting agent, Hayfield Robinson, and they are confident that it will be a great location for further expansion.

Chris Lee, management surveyor at Magna Holdings said: It is great to see a company like The Retail Factory moving to Keighley, considering it as a good business location and creating jobs there. They are a great fit for Dalton Mills – a forward thinking, technology based company. It’s a great indication of how the town is progressing, and we like to think that we our doing our bit towards its regeneration.”

There is still office space available in the Clock Tower, which was the backdrop for BBC 1 show Sunday Life, on flexible terms at very competitive rates. For more information, please visit www.daltonmills.co.uk or call 01924 366600.
