Charity behind more than a century of housing provision secures its own new city pad

A charity managing more than 1,400 homes across Hull and East Yorkshire has moved into new commercial premises in the city.

Pickering & Ferens Homes has taken the lease on a 3,570 sq ft suite as part of The Beacon, a Grade A office development built by leading regional developer Horncastle Group Plc.

The top floor of 7 Beacon Way is the new headquarters for the firm, as it moves from The Maltings, now being converted into residential apartments. The charity dates back to 1910 when founding director and prominent businessman Christopher Pickering funded the construction of 12 almhouses in west Hull.
