Where We Work: Croft Myl, Halifax

Where is it?

Croft Myl, West Parade, Halifax, HX1 2EQ

How big is it?

Croft Myl offers 27 office spaces, ranging from 900ft² to 2500ft². It also boasts a beautiful penthouse suite with panoramic views over West Yorkshire.

The newly renovated roof-top garden and penthouse suite, which has taken 12-months to build, features glass pods and a unique slide, offering tenants an alternative way to reach the penthouses offices below.

There are also unique meeting rooms and conference facilities available and the building is due to open a brand-new café area next month.

We chose to work out of Croft Myl as the space is so unusual for Halifax. With its exposed brickwork and funky décor, Croft Myl is a great place to operate as a creative business. There’s real community vibe here and the space itself facilitates productivity and collaboration. 

There are lots of different types of businesses that work here and it’s great to be part of something; we all help each other and come together for events and out of work activities.

Think your workspace is wonderful?

Workplaces across the North are changing. For many, the physical changes are to encourage a cultural change, with more pressure being put on businesses to consider the wellbeing of employees. Whether your office has recently been refurbished, it’s beautifully designed, or it’s just vastly different from a typical office, we want to hear from you.
