Yorkshire building consultancy opens new head office in Leeds

A Yorkshire building consultancy has announced that it is planning to open a new head office in Leeds.

YDBC has recruited three staff to help form the new head office, which will be in Horsforth.

With another office in Leyburn, YDBC now has regional coverage spanning the whole of Yorkshire and the North East.

Both offices have a team of surveyors providing building control duties for domestic and commercial construction.

Katherine Naisbitt, director at YDBC, commented: “The Leeds office is an important step in YDBC’s growth strategy, providing support on a local and regional basis.

“Karen, John and Seb [new hires] will play a vital role in strengthening YDBC’s presence and service capacity in the Leeds City Region and other areas of Yorkshire, helping to accelerate the development of our business.

“YDBC experienced an increase in business during the lockdown, with a surge in demand from domestic customers seeking to invest in upgrades and improvements to their properties.

“We took on new staff to manage the additional demand, including members of our Leeds team.

“As a Corporate Approved Inspector, YDBC has the credentials to carry out Building Control duties across a full range of domestic and commercial construction projects.

“The Leeds operation offers the expertise, experience and responsiveness to ensure that our high standards are maintained on behalf of new and existing clients.

“After navigating what has been an enormously challenging period for businesses and communities throughout the UK, we are now in a strong position to push on in the years ahead.”
