Beverley, prepare to be amazed! One of the town’s most iconic buildings, Walkergate House, has stirred from its slumber and stepped boldly into the modern age, thanks to the vision of local tech pioneers Joe Gateshill and Greg Usher. This Georgian gem, which has watched over Walkergate since 1780 and served as the home of the Register Office for over two decades, is now alive with innovation, ambition, and enterprise.
For years, Walkergate House has been a familiar backdrop to life’s big moments—hosting thousands of weddings, ceremonies, and celebrations. But after its sale in 2025, the historic building faced an uncertain future. That all changed when Beverley-born entrepreneurs Gateshill and Usher snapped it up, determined to fuse history with cutting-edge business innovation.
“We’re not just preserving a building; we’re breathing new life into it,” said Greg Usher, practically glowing with hometown pride. “Walkergate House has always been part of Beverley’s story. Now, it’s going to be part of the town’s economic future as well.”
The building now houses the headquarters of fango Ltd and offers modern, flexible office spaces for local startups, freelancers, and established businesses seeking something truly distinctive. With its historic charm, modern facilities, and prime Walkergate location, the house is poised to become the go-to hub for creativity and growth in Beverley. Limited parking and easy access to the town centre make it as practical as it is stunning.
Joe Gateshill added, “We’ve created a working environment that respects the past but embraces the future. Walkergate House isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to dream, connect, and grow.”
This revival isn’t just a local story—it’s part of a bigger trend of historic buildings returning to community-focused use, blending heritage with enterprise, culture, and innovation.
For ambitious businesses eager to stake their claim in one of Beverley’s most photographed and beloved landmarks, Walkergate House is open for viewing—but don’t wait, spaces are limited. Beverley’s skyline just got a little brighter, and its streets are buzzing once again.
The message is clear: Walkergate House is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more brilliant than ever.
