Moving up. Baker Tilly become new residents
As a leading accountancy and business advisory firm, Baker Tilly's operation in Hull had grown considerably over the last year. The firm was keen to invest in a calibre of premises that would reflect its forward thinking approach to business.
Already home to a host of high-profile companies including The Royal Bank of Scotland, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Barclays Commercial and World Trade Centre Hull & Humber, Humber Quays has set the precedent for the future of Hull's newly energised waterfront and is becoming well known for being Hull's future premier business and international trade district.
For Baker Tilly, being located at Two Humber Quays will enable them to build effective working relationships with the other companies around them and is already reaping the benefits of being a part of this expanding business community, in addition to enjoying excellent accessibility and an inspiring working environment.

Newcomers. Barclays commercial bank move in
After an office absence of five years, global financial services provider Barclays Commercial returned to Hull to take advantage of the stunning office premises at Humber Quays, which offered an ideal location to re-establish its base in the city centre.
Recognising Hull as a growing region that is reaping the benefits from significant new investment as part of an ongoing regeneration strategy, Barclays Commercial relocated staff from its regional centres in Leeds and Sheffield. As well as the relationship team the office also includes specialist managers across the full range of commercial banking services including Sales and Asset Finance, International Trade and Treasury Services.
The move has already proved a successful one for the company thanks to a number of effective relationships within Hull's business community and the quality of offices and impressive views across the Marina has made a huge impression on its expanding customer base.
Barclays Commercial joins a number of high-profile corporate occupiers who have taken up space at Humber Quays including The Royal Bank of Scotland, PricewaterhouseCoopers and World Trade Centre Hull & Humber and is now widely known as the city's premier waterfront business district which continues to develop rapidly as a thriving hub for Hull's business community.

New residents at Two Humber Quays - PriceWaterhouseCoopers
As a global accountancy firm operating in markets all across the world, PricewaterhouseCoopers needed a location that was easily accessible and large enough to accommodate its expanding Hull office.
Proud of its long-standing presence in the city, based on over 125 years of operating successfully in the area, the leading professional services firm had been keen to move to more spacious offices for some time but had struggled to find premises that could accommodate its needs.
The recent development of Humber Quays, Hull's prestigious business district, solved this problem for PricewaterhouseCoopers by presenting an exclusive waterfront location in the city centre. Already home to The Royal Bank of Scotland and World Trade Centre Hull & Humber, Humber Quays offers an ideal location that is situated close by to major motorway links and comes complete with secure car parking for both staff and visitors. These benefits in mind, it wasn't long before PricewaterhouseCoopers had committed to a 15-year lease of premises in the second of the two impressive office buildings at Humber Quays.
Since their relocation earlier this year, they have been thrilled with their new premises and have received a number of compliments on their beautiful yet practical location.
