The former bus station in Whitehaven is turning into a hub for creative and digital start ups.
After some inevitable delays due to Covid-19, the redevelopment of the derelict former bus station in Whitehaven is motoring on.
A short video tour hosted by our head of community and development, Gary McKeating, shows that the new home for digital and creative start-ups is taking shape.
Gary said: "I am incredibly impressed by how much progress Thomas Armstrong has made since work was able to restart."
"You can see the business pods and communal working areas on the second floor coming together. And the blend of original features, like the former station’s art deco windows, with the more contemporary features like exposed ducts, is going to give the building a contemporary feel."

Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd are delighted to find out that our Pioneer Foodstore project at Rosehill in Carlisle has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best Commercial Project category at the Northern LABC Building Excellence Awards.
We are both happy and sad to announce that David Lyall, our Group Health & Safety Director has retired from Thomas Armstrong (Holdings) after 23 years’ service.
David’s last day at Thomas Armstrong was Friday 26 June when we had an unusually different, “socially-distanced” Presentation, outside Head Office at Flimby.
David has been integral part of our Company over the last 23 years. His contributions will always be valued and remembered and on behalf of everyone, we would like to wish him the best of luck for the future.
Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Ltd are delighted to announce that Emily Bailiff, our Trainee Timber Roof Truss Designer has been selected as Lakes College West Cumbria’s Apprentice of the Year.
On behalf of the Timber Limited Directors, Engineered Timber Director, Graeme Batey, presents Emily with a small gift in recognition of her recent achievement in becoming Lakes College Apprentice of the Year (all hands were duly sanitized before presentation was made, and social distancing rules were observed at all times).
Timber Limited Managing Director, Nicky Clifford commented "It is highly satisfying for our company when the young people we invest in reciprocate with maximum effort and commitment".
Emily’s first encounter with our business was whilst at school when she expressed an interest in Construction and Design.
Emily joined our Roof Truss and Timber Frame Design Department for a week’s Work Experience and during that time showed a high level of interest and enthusiasm.
At the age of sixteen Emily could have continued to study for her A Levels and then on to University. However, we discussed the opportunities that our company could offer her and she agreed to join us and follow a dedicated career pathway that gave her a more ‘hands on’ role whilst attending college to further her formal qualifications.
Emily has a bright future with our company, especially if she continues to show the levels of commitment that she has so far.
Well Done Emily, the Timber Limited Team are delighted for you and very proud.
