From Humber to the heart of Leeds. 🏙️

Hull-based Wykeland Group has expanded its property portfolio with the acquisition of two prime office buildings in Leeds city centre.

It’s the latest chapter in the growth of a Humber business whose developments closer to home include Hull’s Fruit Market, Flemingate in Beverley and Melton West.

Wykeland was also advised on the latest acquisitions by fellow Hull-based business Andrew Jackson Solicitors.

A positive example of Humber businesses taking their expertise, investment and ambition beyond our region.

An ambitious £2m investment in community and place.

Tigers Trust has revealed plans to transform its facilities at West Park into a new community and sports campus for Hull and East Yorkshire.

Working with Humber-based Alessandro Caruso Architects, the plans would bring the outdoor pitches back into use, improve the existing arena and create new spaces for sport, education, health, wellbeing and learning.

It’s about much more than facilities. It’s about creating opportunities, raising aspirations and investing in a place that can support people and communities for years to come.

Another positive story for Humber. 🎓

The University of Hull has risen across every major UK university league table this year.

Behind the rankings is something even more important for our region: attracting people, developing talent and creating opportunities for people to build their futures here.

Strong institutions help build strong places, and the University continues to play an important role in the story Humber has to tell.

Humber has joined forces with coastal regions across the UK to give our maritime economies a stronger national voice. ⚓🌊

Humber Marine and Renewables is one of 11 founding clusters behind the new UK Maritime Regions Network.

As home to the UK’s largest port complex and a maritime sector spanning shipping, logistics, engineering, manufacturing and offshore wind, Humber has plenty of experience to bring to the table.

The network will create new opportunities to collaborate on skills, careers, innovation and supply chains, while showcasing the contribution coastal economies make across the UK.

More skilled jobs. Better connectivity. And Humber playing its part. 📡

UK Telecoms Minister Ian Murray visited Quickline's Training and Innovation Centre in Hull last week to meet apprentices learning the skills needed to deliver the next generation of broadband infrastructure.

The visit comes as new figures show Project Gigabit has supported more than 3,000 jobs and apprenticeships across England.

It's great to see Hull at the heart of a national story about skills, infrastructure and opportunity.

What makes somewhere a place people want to invest in, build a career in and call home?

Diana Taylor and Leahann Barnes attended City Nation Place UK in Bradford, exploring how places across the UK are strengthening their identity, reputation and competitiveness.

For Humber, place isn’t a separate conversation from economic growth. Place, investment and talent all reinforce one another.

We’ll be continuing that conversation with 200 people at our first Humber Place Forum on 19 October.

🏆 What a brilliant celebration of place!

We’re delighted to see Future Humber Bondholders among the finalists for this year’s Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards!

And what a year for the REYTAs. A record number of entries has resulted in 70 finalists across 15 categories, celebrating everything from attractions and accommodation to food, events and experiences across Hull and East Yorkshire.

These businesses and organisations do so much more than give people great places to visit. They help create the experiences, memories and stories that shape how people feel about our region.

That’s a huge part of building a place people are proud to call home and others want to visit, work and spend time in.

👏 A massive congratulations to all the finalists, and especially our shortlisted Bondholders. Good luck for November!

Opening up more routes into engineering for Humber’s next generation. 👏

Nine new apprentices have joined Spencer Group this year, with roles spanning civil engineering, commercial and business administration.

Four of the new cohort are young women, while female applications for apprenticeships at the Hull-based business have grown from just 2.6% in 2019 to 27% today.

By working with local educators and giving young people opportunities to experience engineering and hear directly from people working in the industry, Spencer Group is helping to challenge perceptions and widen Humber’s future talent pipeline.

Developing the skills our economy needs starts with helping more people see the opportunities available to them. 💙
