Giles Castleton, the owner of GC Motors, has completed a £250,000 refit of Adam House, a 4-storey office block adjacent to the prestige car dealership on Ripon Way, Harrogate.

The extensive refurbishment is to prepare it for re-letting, using Carter Towler as agents.

Adam House has office suites ranging from 2,616 – 8,146 sq ft, with ample parking including electric car charging points and secure bike stores.

“Despite the difficulties of the past couple of years we have been extremely fortunate and our businesses have continued to flourish.

"Our motor dealership which is one of the largest independent sports, prestige motor and 4 x 4 dealerships in the country is expanding and our property investments are going from strength to strength. We employ 75 people, and we are aiming to take on a further 15 in the next 12 months.”
