“Flourishing” recruitment firm doubles office space at Leeds city centre development

Rapidly expanding Leeds based recruitment firm Verrus has doubled its office space at the “iconic” Broad Gate development in the heart of the city.

Verrus is taking 5,250 sq ft of quality office space with its workforce expected to increase from 42 to 85 by the end of next year.

Ian Cundale, chief executive officer of Verrus, explained: “These are exciting times for us. We continue to expand across the globe, with an already established footprint in Europe and North America and increasing revenues throughout South America and APAC regions.

“The combination of Brexit and Covid forced us to review our recruitment model and has made us much more flexible and fleet-footed in our approach. Despite these challenging economic times, we are extremely confident about the future.

“Crucially, our established team in Leeds provides executive recruitment solutions that minimise risk and maximise return on investment for businesses in a range of industries worldwide.

“Our hiring experience and sector-specific insight means that our clients are able to make key hiring decisions with greater confidence, selecting candidates based on more than skills and experience but also on cultural fit and synergy of vision.”

Eamon Fox, partner and head of development at global property consultancy Knight Frank in Leeds, added: “Verrus’ renewed commitment to Broad Gate is a resounding endorsement of one of Leeds’ most impressive mixed-use buildings.

“The excellent location, overlooking The Headrow, a 5-minute walk from Leeds Rail Station, creates a business destination with all the benefits of the city centre on its doorstep.”

The 300,000 sq ft flagship development comprises four floors of spectacular Grade A office space and an exclusive suite of penthouse offices, together with four prime retail units. Broad Gate also has an “exceptional” roof terrace providing areas to “work, rest and play”, coupled with “exemplary” end of journey shower and locker facilities.
