H I S T O R Y

Designed by visionary and acclaimed architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, (Eden Project biomes and Waterloo International Station) this iconic building became one of the regions most impressive sights. Built in 1993 on a 12 acre site it was home to The Daily Mail Group and its subsidiary local media titles. The Ship as the HQ became known, housed over 1700 employees at its peak, before The Daily Mail Group relocated in 2013.

Recognition from the British Construction Industry, the Royal Fine Art Commission Building of the Year and the Structural Steel Design contests, all in 1993, and the RIBA prize, 1994 reflected the quality of the design and build of this fine structure.
