Publisher begins next chapter with new home

GREENLEAF PUBLISHING has relocated its expanding business to historic Salts Mill in Saltaire.

Greenleaf, whose parent company GSE Research is backed by Finance Yorkshire, recently reported its second consecutive year of more than 20% revenue growth, and has taken on a number of new staff.

Chief executive John Peters said that Salts Mill, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the David Hockney collection, is an ideal home for the business.

He said: “We are now the world’s leading specialist publisher in sustainability and responsible management, and we are delighted to be here in a world-renowned location. When he had the Mill built in the 1850s, Titus Salt brought together his entrepreneurial success with a keen awareness of the social responsibility of business, so this is especially fitting for us as a location.

“With Finance Yorkshire’s help, we have created jobs, and brought sustainable and responsible management resources to business practitioners, students and researchers worldwide.”

GSE and Greenleaf currently have 15 staff in the Salts Mill offices plus two more in Sheffield, and a network of agents covering China, the US, Germany and Mexico, and work closely with international agencies including the United Nations Global Compact and the Principles for Responsible Management Education, PRME.

Greenleaf and GSE Research have been supported by investment from Finance Yorkshire since 2011.
 
Finance Yorkshire portfolio director Ian Brown said: “Salts Mill is a fitting location for an enterprise which is dedicated to sustainability and responsible business, and we’re confident Greenleaf and GSE will enjoy continued success in their new home.”
