The project was negotiated with Hull City Council delivery partner Esteem LEP Ltd. Houlton were selected for their experience of working on similar buildings

The proposed works were undertaken in two phases starting at the end of October 2021 and completing in summer 2022.

Further phases of internal remodelling are likely to be negotiated in 2023.
