Great Rail Journeys new office ‘reflects rail heritage’

Great Rail Journeys is relocating its head office in York to a new development in the the city.

Hudson Quarter is situated on the original site of York’s first permanent railway station, opposite its modern-day counterpart.

The operator will occupy the top two floors of the development, which has more than 11,000 square feet of commercial space.

Chief executive Peter Liney said: “We wanted to invest in a more flexible, creative and collaborative environment in which our teams can continue to thrive in the city of York.

“With almost direct access to the main train station, we hope to encourage the very best talent the industry has to offer with people benefitting from the great commuter links.”

He added: “As a business in the travel industry rebuilding after the hard-hitting pandemic, being able to deliver our expertise from a reimagined space has also assisted us in reducing our office footprint by 40%.”

The company is working with a recyclable waste specialist to have old office equipment reused or recycled to help charitable causes.

Liney said: “We look forward to welcoming both our team and our customers to a new office that inspires and truly reflects our rail heritage, as well as our passion to deliver fantastic holiday experiences.”
