Welcome to Harrogate: a spa town heritage

Harrogate’s heritage is as a fashionable spa resort. With the boom in spa tourism during the Victorian 1800s, Harrogate quickly developed a reputation for luxurious getaways for body and soul. The high society of Victorian Britain flocked to the town to enjoy the air, the space and the therapeutic spa treatments as well as taking the famous waters.

Today, Harrogate remains a boutique spa town with vibrant shops, quality restaurants and busy bars. The ideal destination for relaxation and indulgence!

Mobile Tornado’s new Harrogate home

Following a series of new push-to-talk over cellular (also known as PoC) customer wins and a team restructure, we recently moved our head office to Copthall Bridge in central Harrogate, just a short walk from the train station, to support our expansion.

Copthall Bridge is a 38,000 sq ft Grade A workspace just off Station Parade, only a two-minute walk from Harrogate train station. It offers modern meeting rooms, flexible layouts and high-speed connectivity, giving our growing team the space it needs as we continue to win new PoC customers around the world.

The building also includes a dedicated wellbeing room, a fitness room, secure bike storage and round-the-clock access and security, alongside speciality tea and coffee for the team and visiting guests. Welcome to Harrogate really does capture how we feel about our new base, and we can’t wait to welcome visitors through our doors.

The move also gives visiting partners and customers a smarter, more professional space to meet our team, with dedicated meeting rooms and easy access for anyone travelling in by train or car.
