About US

Welcome to The Yards Kettering, where history converges with modern entrepreneurship in the heart of the town. Our story begins with a rich heritage, as our premises served various purposes over the years from an old fire station and MG garage to a leather factory and stables for an ancient inn. Neglected for two decades, Kevin Jones took on the challenge of restoring these buildings, preserving their rustic charm and fashioning them into a dynamic space for small businesses.
Under Kevin's daughter, Michaela Jones' leadership, The Yards has evolved into a vibrant community for local businesses. Michaela brings a wealth of retail expertise, having worked with esteemed brands such as the Disney Store and Topshop. 
Recognizing the hurdles faced by small businesses, she has made The Yards a haven by keeping rents low, eliminating deposits and encouraging businesses to invest in their growth.
Michaela's commitment extends beyond a typical landlord-tenant relationship; she envisions The Yards as a supportive, collaborative environment where businesses thrive. Acknowledging the challenges of the high street, we offer a shared social media platform and business coaching through BHVA. The Yards goes beyond a mere business venture for massive financial gain; it's a deliberate choice to fund a lifestyle valuing balance and family. This commitment is ingrained as a true family endeavour, spanning generations. As a single home-schooling mother, Michaela's child is frequently seen at The Yards.
Join us at The Yards Kettering, where history intersects with contemporary entrepreneurship and immerse yourself in a community that treasures collaboration, creativity and the pursuit of dreams.
