An expanding freight forwarding business has taken on new offices at Humber Enterprise Park.
Quality Freight Services Ltd will occupy a 2,000 sq ft suite at the Brough site, once part of the BAE Systems site that has reduced its footprint in recent years. The new 10-year deal follows an investment of more than £500,000 by Westcore Europe, which acquired the park in 2020, relaunching as a significant mixed-use proposition.
QFS is relocating from North Ferriby, having outgrown the original location. The international business, established nearly 30 years ago and headquartered in Bradford, has 17 offices across the UK and employs a team of 158 people, supporting a range of sectors including steel, modular building, and chemicals.

Sam Heppell, branch manager, said: “Since opening our satellite office in Hull just over two years ago, we have experienced major growth, not least in serving the Humber ports. Humber Enterprise Park was the perfect choice for our next move, offering unique and stunning offices in a location that is ideal for serving our client base and for staff commuting with the train station just a few minutes’ walk away. It also allows us capacity for growth on very flexible terms.”
Working with asset management partner, Citivale, Westcore has extensively refurbished five major office buildings at Humber Enterprise Park. Bluebird, Firebrand, Hawk, Buccaneer and Mercury provide a combined 40,000 sq ft.
QFS has taken part of the ground floor at Firebrand, with Westcore dividing the 5,000 sq ft floorplate to quickly accommodate the company.
Victorian Morgan, director of asset management at Westcore Europe, said: “We are delighted to welcome Quality Freight Services Ltd to our business community at Humber Enterprise Park. We have invested over half a million pounds in recent years to refurbish three main office buildings with enhancements to the public realm as part of our ongoing plans to transform the park into a destination. Further plans are progressing as we consult with our marketing and placemaking expert team.”
PPH Commercial acted for Westcore Europe and is marketing agent for the scheme.
