WELL-KNOWN COMPANY RELOCATING FROM BRIGG TOWN CENTRE

A company which is very well-known in Brigg town centre is relocating its local office to the North Bank of the Humber.
From tomorrow (Monday, April 4) there will be a regional Brown & Co 'hub' for North Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, based on an enterprise park in North Ferriby, not far from the Humber Bridge.
The retail/estate agency premises in the Market Place, with upper floor office suite and parking, have been marketed to let due to relocation.
This building was occupied by the Smith Parkinson garage and car sales business for decades, its showroom being on the ground floor.
These premises later became G.S.A. House - a base for the Grimley-Smith company - winning the Brigg Town Civic Award for building refurbishment in 2008.
The same annual accolade went to Brown & Co for 2016 after it moved to 6 Market Place and further alterations were forthcoming.
The Town Council said at the time that the frontage greatly enhanced the area, and that the design had been very skillfully executed.
Brown & Co had earlier relocated a short distance from smaller premises in the Market Place adjoining the entrance to Coney Court.
It was there, in September 2013, that the 20th anniversary of the estate and land agency was celebrated.
Brown & Co also operated auction rooms in Brigg for some years on a site taken over in 2012 by Boyes when this retail chain came to town.
Many people in Brigg will be pleased to see a new occupier of 6 Market Place in due course - this being a prominent building within the conservation area.
