Audio Media International has released an exclusive interview with Tileyard Co-Founder, Nick Keynes, discussing all-things Tileyard North and the ‘past, present and future Tileyard’s talent curation philosophy’.

Here are some key takeaways from the piece, as Nick delves into Tileyard North’s expansion into Wakefield and why the “ecosystem of creatives is key for us”…

“What Tileyard fundamentally is all about is talent incubation – we want to create an environment where talent can thrive. For many years we’ve felt that it’s all very well having a London hub but we wanted to help talent around the country. So, we’ve ended up pinning the tail on the donkey in Wakefield.”

Commenting on the development process and the Rutland Mills site in West Yorkshire, Nick went on to say:

“The buildings were in such a state of disrepair that they weren’t viable initially. We really had the appetite to invest in the site, but we needed some support. The local authority helped and we raised funds. Covid slowed down the project a bit, but we’re now in a position where we’re finishing up spaces which we’ll be opening later in the year. It’s very exciting.”
