A DIGITAL marketing firm has relocated to new premises in Burnley Wharf, just a short distance from where the firm was founded.

Door4 have been established for 17 years and operated in Manchester and previously Nelson.

The business was founded by Burnley-based managing director Leon Calverley who set up on his own, before taking office space in Nelson in 2002.

It has 18 full-time employees operating across its two offices.

Mr Calverley said: “There were a lot of factors that influenced our move to Burnley, but as soon as we knew that such an iconic building as Burnley Wharf in Manchester Road was available we expressed our interest.

“Burnley has won accolades in recent years as a town on the up, that is very business friendly and it’s now becoming recognised as a growing digital hub.

“Along with the town’s stronger economy, we have access to a larger talent pool, both locally and regionally, through the town’s excellent transport connections.

“The building had been the CPS offices, and needed a lot of work.

“It was important to us to have a Burnley presence, the business was formed just a short walk from where we’re now based.

“We’re close to the railway station, with a direct link to Manchester, as well as the bus station."
