Agency’s £250,000 office space investment

Specialist PR, sports, social and events agency, Hatch, has opened the doors to its new extended office space in Leeds Dock.

The agency, which now employs 28 staff across two sites in Leeds and London, has invested £250,000 renovating the existing ground floor office it occupies at Magellan House, and extending into the vacant floor above, to create a 4,800 sq ft space spanning two floors.

Following six months of major renovation and redesign of the space, the Hatch team has unveiled an environment designed to nurture the agency’s ambitious growth plans.

Jason Madeley, Hatch’s MD, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the new space we have created here at Leeds Dock. After 12 months of planning, a temporary office move, countless meetings with the contractors, and hundreds of design decisions, we are absolutely thrilled with the results.

“The environment we work in is a major part of who we are as an agency. The space has been designed to future proof our growth, but also nurture greater collaboration and improved flexibility for the team.”

Elizabeth Peckett, asset director at Allied London, added: “Hatch were one of the first residents to join us at the Leeds Dock development, and we are delighted to see them grow from strength to strength.

“The creative, digital and tech community we have developed here is a real asset to the city and cements our commitment to continued investment in Leeds Dock.”
