Extensive office upgrade for expanding recruitment businesses

A comprehensive office refurbishment has been completed for global recruitment firms Goodall Brazier and G&E Group at their headquarters in East Parade, Leeds city centre.

The work was needed due to Goodall Brazier’s significant growth, including the integration of partner companies G&E Partners and Harris and Co into the Leeds office.

This expansion has increased the staff count from 140 to over 200 employees. Goodall Brazier now occupies a total of 14,000 sq ft across two floors.

Yorkshire-based commercial interior design and build specialist, Design Tonic, carried out the redesign and refurbishment, working with The Nanu Group.

Design Tonic transformed 7,000 sq ft of ground floor space. The redesign includes workspaces with phone booths for private calls and video meetings, fostering both collaboration and privacy. It also features a luxury business lounge.

Goodall Brazier CEO, Richard Goodall, said: “Design Tonic truly understands our vision for creating an exceptional workspace for our employees.

“Their team consistently delivers high-quality designs with meticulous attention to detail, perfectly aligning with our goals.

“As our business expands, providing the best possible environment for our people is crucial. An inspiring work environment is fundamental to our success.

“It not only allows us to attract and retain top talent, including passionate graduates for our industry-leading management programme, but it also demonstrates our unwavering commitment to investing in our workforce and the future of our company.”

Design Tonic founder and director, Amanda Cook, added: “We were thrilled to be appointed by Goodall Brazier & G&E Group again to work on its latest refurbishment project.

“It is a business that never stands still and is passionate about creating an outstanding high quality office environment for all to benefit from.

“We look forward to working on future projects with Richard and his team.”
