“We have purchased this important building due to its prominent central Sheffield location. It will be very convenient for our colleagues, it has great transport links.
“Our investment will be in excess of £3m. We have architects on site this week, and remodelling will commence prior to the Christmas break.
“This will be our fourth site in Sheffield and we’ve just had our offer accepted for the fifth.”

Born and raised in Gleadless, Mr Hinchliffe worked in sales jobs for the Financial Times and Stock Exchange before redundancy led him to set up in business. He started at home but soon moved to 13 Fargate after striking a deal with Liberty Life to occupy unused space in return for recruiting salespeople.
Today Ant Marketing works with brands including Heinz, The Economist and RBS.
In 2019, it opened a call centre in the former Mike Brewer Motors garage on Bramall Lane, handling calls for a major retailer.
