Leicester business plans to create 120 jobs in the city
A Leicester business has taken more space in the city and says it wants to create another 120 jobs.
Growth Partners PLC, an employee engagement company, has tripled its footprint at Colton Square by taking a second office suite just six months after moving in. The firm took an initial 4,269 sq ft last year, and has now signed for an additional suite of 7,218 sq ft.
“When I launched Growth Partners PLC in May 2017, there was just me,” said chief executive Paul Bresnihan.
He added: “Since getting a HR Business Partner onboard, and securing office space in September, our business has rapidly grown.
“At the end of 2017, we were at six employees, and now we have already employed 30 new recruits with plans to generate over 120 more jobs by the end of 2018.
“We chose Colton Square because we loved the feeling of being in one of Leicester’s renowned historic landmarks (the old Police station) whilst having a refurbished, modern feel. The proximity to the city centre, as well as the train station, is also a bonus with Leicestershire’s three fantastic universities within easy reach.”
Associate director Jenny Clarke from Innes England said: “We are very pleased to have agreed the deal on behalf of asset manager’s XLB Property and assist Growth Partners in its expansion. The firm is a welcome addition to Leicester, where we hope it will continue to thrive.”
Innes England is joint agent with Phillips Sutton.
