Elsie Whiteley Innovation Centre is a social enterprise, home to a range of flexible meeting and workspaces that match most modern businesses– from start-up to seasoned pro. Just outside the bustling town centre of Halifax, the Elsie Whiteley Innovation Centre is a stunning mill conversion. A fusion of Northern grit with simple, modern, minimalist design. The Innovation Centre is a fitting tribute to the town’s entrepreneurial fashion and textile designer Elsie Whiteley who created a successful, world renowned business empire from the mill.
