Hubworks launches a new SME workplace concept at REiiF

15th June 2026

A new business unit concept for SMEs launches at this year’s REiiF exhibition and conference held in the Royal Armouries in Leeds.

One of the UK’s first and largest design, build, and operators of next-gen business units in England and Scotland announces its new business unit concept, Hubworks - where SME industrial meets commercial workspace.

Originally developed by Mandale Group and backed by their 40 years of multi-award-winning experience, Hubworks is the first developer to build over 220 business units since 2020. Delivering 12 sites across the North of England to date, Hubworks expansion plans include a further 96 units in development across six locations in England over the next 18 months. 

Redefining  the hybrid, micro-industrial workspace market, and developed to fill the new build, SME business unit supply shortage gap, Hubworks has been designed to help businesses who need a space for storage, fulfil e-commerce needs, have a contemporary place to service their customer and evidence sustainability for bids and tenders.

The business units offer SMEs a location for a premium HQ, or a regional depot for national companies looking to expand. Hubworks is differentiated by offering contemporary and sustainable multi-functional business units (1,550ftsq), built over two floors, complete with a separate warehouse, studio, showroom or workshop space, a first floor (warm) office space and are built to an all-brick design with a tiled roof and an A rated EPC.

The Hubworks leadership team is pulling back the curtain to reveal a new kind of business unit concept brand for SMEs at this year’s REiiF event, explaining why current tenants describe it as a rare find.

The brand-new concept has been developed for growing enterprises. Richard Harriman, Hubworks product lead, said: “No-one is coming close to our new build value proposition; we’re truly leading the way in changing workplace standards for small businesses.”

The business units are now available across Sheffield and Castleford, West Yorkshire; with further Hubworks coming soon in Chester-Le-Street, Leeds, Gateshead and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Legacy sites are located across Durham, North and South Yorkshire, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North Shields, Middlesbrough and Stockon-on-Tees.
