Marketing Humber expands into one of region’s “most sought-after” office locations

Marketing Humber has moved its expanded team into the C4DI tech hub in Hull’s “most vibrant” commercial community.

The region’s economic place marketing organisation has grown to a six-strong team and relocated to a new base at the C4DI (Centre for Digital Innovation) building in the “flourishing” Fruit Market area.

The move means Marketing Humber is now operating from one of Hull’s “most sought-after” office locations in a building that is a “key gathering place” for the region’s business community.

C4DI opened in 2015 as the first phase and centrepiece of Wykeland Group’s @TheDock waterfront tech campus. Since then it has been the catalyst for the launch of scores of tech businesses, creating hundreds of highly-skilled digital jobs, as well as inspiring safety business Arco to relocate to a new state-of-the-art head office close by.

Moving into a third floor office at C4DI further aligns Marketing Humber with the region’s tech sector, which has grown rapidly since the opening of the building in 2015 provided a focal point for the previously fragmented digital community.

Wykeland has also become a Marketing Humber Principal Partner, joining a “powerful” line-up of the region’s “leading” businesses who are at the forefront of promoting the Humber as a great place to invest.

Meanwhile, C4DI has also become a Major Partner and will support Marketing Humber’s work, further underlining the close relationship between the tech hub, Wykeland and Marketing Humber.

Managing director Dr Taylor commented: “Joining the C4DI community reinforces the strong relationship we have with Wykeland and C4DI, who are both long-standing members of our Bondholders network of business ambassadors and have now become Principal Partners and Major Partners respectively.

“It also underlines the importance of the ever-growing tech sector and the region’s impressive digital capabilities to the Humber’s investment proposition. It’s important to us that we can help weave digital technologies into all of our business sectors, supporting all our members as we look to thrive in a prosperous and sustainable future.

“Our team is really enjoying being in such a vibrant working environment with so many creative and innovative companies around us. It’s a fantastic place to take forward our work promoting and celebrating the Humber as a great place to invest, work, live and study.”
