Investing in Growth: True9 Moves to Salts Mill
2025 has been a year of investment and forward momentum for True9.
We've celebrated our 10th year in business with a complete rebrand, strengthened our leadership team with a new Strategic Growth Director, and continued to expand our client base across IoT, automation, and digital transformation.
Each of these milestones has been about preparing for the next stage in our journey. But growth isn't just about business or structure - it's about people and culture.
We want True9 to be a place where people feel valued, inspired, and constantly curious. We’ve always invested in cutting-edge equipment, flexible working, and benefits that keep morale high, but we wanted to go further - to create an environment that sparks collaboration, creativity, and belonging.
After eight exciting years in Halifax, our plans for expansion meant we were ready for a bigger space, and 2025 felt like the perfect time to make it happen...
That's why we've moved to our new home in Salts Mill, Saltaire. 🎉
Why Salts Mill
Our new home gives us room to breathe and space to grow.
As a remote-first business, we still champion flexibility, yet we encourage the team to use the office whenever it suits their needs, whether for collaboration days, client workshops, or just a change of scenery.
Located on the main train line accessible from Leeds and Bradford, Saltaire is an easy commute from across Yorkshire, Manchester, London and beyond, opening up a wider talent pool and making it easier for clients and partners to visit and enjoy the surrounding area.
The original brief to Architects Lockwood and Mawson by Sir Titus Salt was to create a new community where Salt's workforce would be healthier, happier and more productive and this is something that we've taken to heart when creating our home within Salts Mill and Saltaire village itself.
The Power of Place
Salts Mill isn't just an office building; it's the jewel in the crown of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire, surrounded by history, creativity, and culture. Inside, you'll find independent shops, the renowned 1853 Gallery (home to one of the largest collections of work by David Hockney), and the always-bustling Salts Diner.
Step outside, and you'll find the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, the River Aire, and the open green space of Roberts Park, all perfect for a walk or a change of scenery while working. The village itself is full of cobbled streets, independent cafés, and boutique shops, the ideal balance between calm, creativity and time to think.
It's a setting that blends industry with artistry, making it the perfect backdrop for a consultancy like ours. It inspires creative thinking, encourages balance, and connects us to a thriving business community of like-minded, forward-thinking companies.
We're also conscious of sustainability. By repurposing space within a historic building and encouraging flexible commuting, we're contributing to a more sustainable, hybrid way of working that fits the modern world.

Fun Fact!
Saltaire gets its name from a combination of its founder's surname, Sir Titus Salt, and the River Aire, which runs through the village.
Inside Our New Space
Our office sits at the heart of Salts Mill, above the 1853 Gallery and below the Salts Diner. It's a larger, brighter, and more adaptable space that aligns perfectly with our growth plans.
We began with a blank canvas: new flooring, a reworked layout, and a design shaped around how we actually work, blending quiet focus areas with open collaborative zones. The focal point is an ornate feature window that floods the room with natural light, shifting beautifully throughout the day.
As with all our projects, we believe in an iterative approach - testing, learning, and refining; in this case, building a workspace that evolves naturally with our team's needs over time.
What Comes Next
This move represents much more than a change of scenery.
It's another investment in True9's future, in our team, our culture, and our ability to deliver exceptional work for our clients.
The space gives us the freedom to host in-person collaboration days, workshops with clients, and create opportunities for people to learn, share ideas, and develop together.
As we settle in, we'll continue shaping the space into something truly our own, reflecting who we are as a business and where we're heading.
We look forward to welcoming clients, partners and new team members to come and see it for themselves.
