Redmayne Bentley chooses Leeds’ Wellington Place for its new headquarters

Developer and Asset Manager MEPC has announced that independent investment management firm Redmayne Bentley has relocated its Leeds head office to the leading Wellington Place urban quarter.

The organisation has taken 11,700 sq ft of Grade A office space at 3 Wellington Place completing its move last week.

Established in Leeds in 1875, Redmayne Bentley has offices across the UK, and has a longstanding connection with the city, with its head office always being based there. The firm previously had offices in Albion Place, Merton House and Butts Court on Albion Street before moving to Bond Court in 2011.

The move to the MEPC-developed Wellington Place supports Redmayne Bentley’s continuous growth and plans for its next chapter, with its people within the business and clients at “the heart” of these plans.

Paul Pavia, commercial director at MEPC, the developer and asset manager behind Wellington Place, said: “Redmayne Bentley is a long-established business with its roots in Leeds and is recognised as a key player in the city’s financial sector, so we couldn’t be more pleased that they have chosen Wellington Place as its head office.

“Wellington Place is a leading destination for major public and private sector organisations, from the likes of HMRC to international giants such as Allianz. We look forward to welcoming others to join our community.”

Liz Dean, director of HR at Redmayne Bentley, added: “The team at Redmayne Bentley is vital to our success. Our new office at Wellington Place provides a high-quality environment and tools for those who choose hybrid working while supporting the fantastic culture and wellbeing of our people.”

The agent letting for Wellington Place was JLL, with Knight Frank acting for Redmayne Bentley.

Wellington Place is a sustainable business community being built in central Leeds. Once complete, the scheme will boast a total of 1.5 million sq ft of commercial, retail, leisure and residential space and be one of the biggest and most prestigious new city centre business quarters in Europe.
