Hull mayor moves into new 'desirable' office

Two Humber Quays is the new home to the Hull and East Yorkshire mayoral team

Hull and East Yorkshire Mayor Luke Campbell and his team are to be based in what is described as "one of the city's most desirable office locations".

The Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority has secured space in the east office on the second floor of Two Humber Quay, located on Hull Marina.

The announcement of the lease described the building as "one of the most prominent and well-connected sites in the city".

Campbell said: "It's a fantastic building in a great setting and the entire Mayoral team is excited to be based there."

Two Humber Quay is owned by Hull family business The Rix Group which acquired the property in 2021.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, following the combined authority's lease being agreed, the Two Humber Quays building is now fully let.

Other occupiers at the site include interior design specialists Chameleon and financial services firm RSM UK.

Mike Fry, director of estates at Rix Group, said: "We are pleased to welcome the Mayoral office as a new tenant at Two Humber Quays.

"As a family-owned business with deep roots in Hull, we are committed to supporting the local community and the civic infrastructure of both Hull and the wider East Yorkshire region."
