A professional base for business growth: Pinnacle Marquees (UK) Ltd

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.

A flexible base for business growth: SG Technical Systems Ltd

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.
