45,000 sq ft Leeds HQ building moves forward

Zenith’s new HQ offices at No1, Kirkstall Forge have taken a step closer to completion following the appointment of a contractor to complete the internal fit out.

Chartered surveyors Fox Lloyd Jones, acting for the leasing, fleet management and vehicle outsourcing business, has appointed specialists Ardmac to deliver an extensive fit out of the offices.

Fox Lloyd Jones has been working with Zenith and interior design specialists SpaceInvader Design to create contemporary workspace over three floors within the new building.

The plan is for Zenith to relocate to the new offices before the end of the year.

Director of Fox Lloyd Jones and project manager for the scheme, Gavin Beevers, said: “After many months of planning and design work it is great to enter the final phase of delivering Zenith’s new offices.

“Externally the building looks impressive and we are confident our internal scheme will complement its Grade A qualities to create an unrivalled environment in Leeds.”

Ardmac operations manager, Harry Cheema, added: “We are extremely excited to once again be working alongside Fox Lloyd Jones, Space Invaders Design and BSAP at this iconic development in Leeds. The project forms an intrinsic part of our business strategy and will present Ardmac with the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to deliver high quality interior fit out projects, providing Zenith with an impressive new working environment.”

Gavin King, director of SpaceInvader, said: “We have worked closely with our clients on this landmark development and we are delighted to be delivering an assured, cultural workplace shift towards agile working, empowering people to operate with maximum flexibility and minimum constraints. It’s truly innovative and will be a fantastic place to work.”
