Derwent Shipping & Logistics Ltd (DSL Global Freight) has grown significantly since moving into Market Weighton Business Centre in 2014, demonstrating how flexible workspace can support expanding local businesses.
Established in 2010, DSL Global Freight provides international freight forwarding and logistics services to customers across the UK and globally. When the business first moved into the centre, it occupied a small office, but as the company expanded and staffing levels increased, it relocated twice within the building to larger premises. Today, the business operates from two units at the centre, supporting its growing team and operations.
The facilities and convenient location of Market Weighton Business Centre have provided a practical base for the company’s growth. Access to professional meeting spaces such as the boardroom, alongside well-maintained workspaces, allows the team to focus on running and developing their business.Over the years, DSL has expanded its services in response to customer demand. Originally specialising in freight forwarding for abnormal loads and out-of-gauge cargo internationally, the company now also provides import and export documentation, export packing and UK same-day business-to-business courier services.
The business has successfully adapted during challenging periods such as Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. By introducing in-house import and export documentation services, DSL has been able to support customers navigating new trade regulations while keeping goods moving across borders.Being based at Market Weighton Business Centre has also allowed the company to employ local staff, helping reduce travel times for employees while supporting the local economy. The business has grown from two employees to a team of eight across management, drivers, administration and sales roles.
As Director Liz Boden explains:“We have been able to grow from a small team to one offering numerous services and still use the Business Centre. When running a busy logistics office requires attention to detail and can be very demandingIt is nice to be able to turn up to work in a warm and clean environment that you don’t have to think about the day to day running of and just concentrate on your own business needs.”

When Pinnacle Marquees (UK) Ltd was founded in 2008, Managing Director Tim Betteridge set out to build a business grounded in quality, transparency and strong customer service.
Frustrated by the lack of reliability and personal service within the industry, Tim recognised an opportunity to do things differently. With a clear vision and strong values around integrity and innovation, Pinnacle Marquees was established to deliver professional marquee hire services for events across the region.
From the beginning, the business chose to locate at Market Weighton Business Centre, providing a professional environment and the facilities needed to support its early growth.
Tim said:
“The Business Centre has proven to be an ideal place for our office, offering a professional environment and excellent facilities throughout our entire tenure.”
Operating from the centre has allowed Pinnacle Marquees to benefit from high-quality office facilities, meeting rooms and shared resources, alongside reliable infrastructure and connectivity. These features have provided a strong foundation for building relationships with clients and delivering a professional service.
At the heart of Pinnacle Marquees is its team. The business believes sustainable growth comes from investing in people, developing skills and creating long-term career opportunities. Today, the company employs a dedicated team of four people who continue to support the business as it grows.
Like many businesses, Pinnacle Marquees has faced challenges in recent years, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and wider economic pressures. By remaining agile, investing in technology and focusing on customer needs, the business has adapted and emerged stronger.
Pinnacle Marquees is now the longest-standing tenant at Market Weighton Business Centre, reflecting the strong relationship built with the site and its role in supporting the business over many years.
As a locally based business, Pinnacle Marquees is proud to contribute to the growth and prosperity of East Riding. By recruiting locally and working with regional suppliers, the company continues to play a role in supporting the local economy while building a strong reputation for quality and service.
When SG Technical Systems Ltd was founded in January 2010, Managing Director Simon Chacksfield set out to build a specialist engineering business designing and manufacturing technically challenging products for the vehicle conversion, light rail and medical sectors.
Very early on, the business chose to locate at Market Weighton Business Centre, providing an ideal base to establish and grow.
Simon said:
“It gave us a good base in a good location and allowed us to focus on growing the business.”
Established to design and assemble specialist mechanical equipment, SG has since grown into the UK’s leading supplier of powered ramps for ambulances, alongside supplying steps, doors, wheelchair conversion kits and access solutions for a wide range of specialist vehicles.
As the company expanded, SG moved to a larger unit at Becklands Park Industrial Estate, also owned and managed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Over time, the business took on two additional units and installed mezzanine floors to increase capacity.
Simon added:
“Starting in one small unit, moving to a larger unit and taking on two more over time has helped SG grow with our premises growing in line with our needs. The units have been excellent – well done ERYC.”
Today, SG employs 11 people and continues to grow. The business has built a strong reputation for innovation, holding around 18 patents, alongside UK and international trademarks and design registrations. This commitment to innovation was recognised with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2016.
Like many growing manufacturers, SG has faced challenges including supplier closures, the impact of Covid-19 and supply chain disruption. Each has been met with practical solutions and a focus on learning and resilience.
In August 2025, SG moved into a much larger site in Middleton on the Wolds. Despite the relocation, the business achieved close to 40% growth during the year and is planning further recruitment and expansion into new markets, including North America, in 2026.
Green & Green Mortgage and Protection is an independent mortgage and personal insurance brokerage based at the ergo Business Centre in Hessle. Specialising in bespoke advice on residential and Buy to Let mortgages, as well as life insurance, critical illness cover, and income protection.
Founded in March 2020 by James Green, just as the country entered its first COVID lockdown, the business began in a small home office where James initially advised close friends, family, and contacts from his former career as a professional rugby player. Despite the challenging circumstances of its launch, Green & Green has grown steadily and is now a team of five — three advisers and two administrators — delivering personalised financial services to clients in Hull and the East Riding as well as across the UK.
When the time came to move out of the home office in 2021, ergo quickly stood out as the perfect fit. For James, the appeal lay in its flexibility: the rolling contracts meant there was no daunting long-term commitment, and with running costs included in the rent, the financial arrangements were straightforward and transparent — ideal for a business still in its early stages of development. What came as an unexpected bonus was the location. Clients found it easy to reach, whether crossing the river, coming from the West Hull villages, or driving straight off the dual carriageway from the East. This accessibility has played a key role in supporting Green & Green’s client-focused approach.
ergo is more than just a business centre, it is a hub for renewables and environmental technologies. Being part of this community has created additional opportunities for Green & Green, whose access to several specialist lenders means clients can benefit from preferential mortgage rates for energy-efficient properties — combining financial wellbeing with environmentally responsible choices.
Starting with one of the smaller offices in September 2021, the company was able to take exactly the space it needed at the time. As the business grew, ergo provided the flexibility to scale up. Over the course of four years, Green & Green expanded into a new office three times larger than the original. The move not only provided the growing team a space to work but also created an area to host client appointments — a vital step in matching the quality of the office environment to the level of service the firm provides.
James reflects: “Moving into a 700 sq. ft office has been a dream. It provides us with the space to grow, a professional setting to meet clients, and an environment that truly reflects the standards we aim to deliver. It feels like the right home for us for the long term.”
The expansion into a larger office was driven by increased demand and the need to accommodate additional staff. For James, the decision reflected not only the practical requirements of a growing business but also his ambition to position Green & Green as a professional and trusted brand within the financial services sector.
James is clear in recommending the ergo Business Centre to others. The combination of flexibility, central location, and professional environment makes it an ideal base for businesses of all sizes. For Green & Green, ergo has provided the stability and adaptability needed to grow with confidence. With its new office space and a strong foundation in place, Green & Green sees no need to move for the foreseeable future.
