Tech firm eyes expansion with office move

IT firm SCC will be making Wellington Place the site of its new Leeds office.

Occupying 3,343 sq ft of 1 Wellington Place, the space will welcome ten staff and gives the business room grow to 40 employees as it eyes expansion in Yorkshire.

The firm, Europe’s largest privately-owned IT provider offering technology and cloud solutions to businesses and public sector organisations, selected Leeds as its new base due to the city’s thriving tech, professional services and finance sectors.

The move, expected to take place in April, means that Wellington Place is now the location for over 30 businesses, with SCC joining a wide variety of high-profile development neighbours including Equifax, Sky Betting & Gaming, Willis Towers Watson, Equifax and Irwin Mitchell. Developer and Asset Manager, MEPC, made the announcement of its newest occupier.

James Rigby, Chief Executive at SCC, said “I’m delighted that 1 Wellington Place will be home to our new Leeds office. Of all the sites we looked at in Leeds, Wellington Place was chosen thanks to its modern working environment and unrivalled amenities, including green space, community events and close proximity to transport links, which will help us to attract new and valued talent.”

Paul Pavia, Commercial Director of MEPC, added: “We’re thrilled to be able to announce that SCC will be joining our ever-growing community here at Wellington Place. Tech and IT solutions are vitally important to the Leeds economy as it cements itself as the professional services capital of the north.

“We’d like to wish SCC every success with its new Leeds office, and we look forward to welcoming many more new businesses to the community at Wellington Place, as the development continues to expand.”
