Relocation Leeds

Five Reasons Why Relocation to Leeds Makes Sense

For new businesses setting up or companies looking to establish a base in the north, relocation to Leeds offers many benefits. Five of the key benefits have been identified below.

Value For Money

When it comes to looking for new offices, relocation to Leeds offers the best value for money. This is according to the European Cities Monitor, which ranked Leeds as the number one city for value for money office space.

The importance of this cannot be underestimated: 36% of businesses surveyed said value for money of offices was an important or very important factor in deciding where to locate a business.

A Variety of Offices to Rent

There is a wide range of office accommodation available for businesses considering relocation to Leeds. Not every business is the same and some businesses need a more prestigious location. Others need room to grow or a location for back office and shared service functions. Those just setting up are more likely to benefit from serviced offices.

Whatever your business needs, there is a wide range of office accommodation available. There are also a number of business parks away from the city centre that may be more suitable for different businesses.

Major Business Opportunities

Relocation to Leeds’ city centre gives you access to a vibrant and diverse business community, with business and sector support organisations that can provide excellent business development and networking opportunities.

Excellent Transport Links

Being close to an international airport and having a major UK train station have been key factors in persuading businesses to make their relocation to Leeds rather than some other major cities.

With Manchester less than an hour away and London just over two hours away by train, it is easy to reach other major cities from Leeds. Plus, flights from Leeds Bradford International Airport connect the city to major European capitals and business centres such as Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Milan.

Major Footfall

The Leeds city region has a population of nearly three million and a business base of over 120,000 companies. Together with a large student population, this makes it an attractive location for retail businesses.

The new £350 million Trinity Leeds development will see the redevelopment of over 1 million sq ft of retail and leisure space, which will make relocation to Leeds even more appealing for some businesses.
