Hull is more than a historic port city, it’s a rising star for businesses. Named by National Geographic as one of the must-visit places in 2026, Hull combines culture, connectivity, and opportunity. Add to that an award winning FigFlex Hull centre, and you have the perfect environment for growth, productivity, and community.
Here’s why Hull should be on your radar if you’re thinking about where to house your business in 2026.
Historic Roots, Modern Vibe,
Hull’s story is fascinating. Once a bustling maritime hub, it has reinvented itself with a careful balance of history, culture, and urban renewal. The city’s waterfront, historic buildings, and cultural landmarks are all being revitalised, giving Hull a fresh energy that’s attracting attention, and investment.
For businesses, this matters. A city with personality and momentum isn’t just pleasant to visit, it’s a place where your team can enjoy working, clients want to meet, and your brand can tell a compelling story.
Connectivity That Works
Commuting and accessibility are rarely the sexiest topics, but they’re crucial when choosing a business base. Hull’s main station, Hull Paragon Interchange, has recently been crowned Large Station of the Year at the National Rail Awards — a reflection of the city’s investment in transport infrastructure.
Whether your team is coming from nearby towns, or clients are arriving from across the UK, Hull makes it easy. Efficient travel equals less stress, more punctual meetings, and happier employees, all the things that keep a business running smoothly.
Culture and Community Make a Difference
Hull isn’t just about bricks, mortar, and trains. Its vibrant cultural scene, cafés, galleries, and revitalised districts like the Fruit Market and Humber Street add life to the city. Employees want to live and work somewhere inspiring, and Hull delivers.
For businesses, that translates into better recruitment, happier teams, and a more compelling environment for client meetings. A workspace surrounded by culture isn’t just nice to have, it’s a competitive edge.
Timing is Everything
2026 feels like Hull’s year. With cultural projects, public space refurbishments, and renewed energy hitting their stride, businesses moving in now are positioning themselves ahead of the curve. Early movers get the benefits of rising interest, growing community, and a city that’s increasingly on the map.
