‘Pivotal moment’ for marketing agency as it snaps up larger office base
Digital marketing agency, IDHL, has almost doubled its office space in 10SP at South Parade in Leeds.
Having occupied 5,600 sq ft on the ground floor since 2019, the agency is now relocating to the entire first floor of 10SP at South Parade, occupying 9,600 sq ft on a new 10-year lease.
The suite has been fitted by IDHL’s contractor TSK and has 100 desks.
Features include communal space, 10 meeting rooms, a training facility, theatre style space, a podcast room, phone booths, a business lounge and a client meeting suite.
Ben Wood, CEO at the agency, said: “We’re making significant investments in our offices across the UK this year, as part of our mission to provide the very best working environments for our 400-strong workforce.
“The move to our new 10,000 sq ft Leeds office marks a really exciting moment for our business, as we continue to focus on attracting and retaining the very best digital talent alongside delivering best-in-class service for clients.
“Fitted out with the very best technology, it offers a state-of-the-art environment to support our hybrid working approach.
“Leeds is our busiest office, located on the doorstep of many of the city’s professional and financial business and in close range to exceptional amenities, so it’s a pivotal moment for IDHL. Our thanks to TSK and Witton Developments for their support.”
Wilton Developments extensively redeveloped the original building in 2010, on behalf of owners East Parade Ltd.
Existing tenants in the building include Armstrong Watson, DB3 Architecture, Odgers Berndtson and SCP.
Jason Stowe, managing director of Wilton Development, said: “10SP remains one of the most populated buildings within our office portfolio.
“We have sought to constantly evolve the building to meet the changing needs of occupiers, and we are particularly pleased that we were able to work with the team at IDHL to facilitate its next stage of growth in Leeds.”
Hannah Snell, account director at TSK, added: “It’s been a pleasure collaborating with IDHL to design and deliver their state-of-the-art Leeds office.
“The goal was to create a destination workplace that prioritises the experience of both their employees and visitors, enhancing their ability to attract and retain top talent and clients.
“This office, which unites all their brands under one roof, plays a key role in defining their current business identity.”
The Leeds offices of CBRE and Knight Frank acted on behalf of the building’s owner, East Parade Ltd, with Fox Lloyd Jones representing IDHL in the letting.
Clair McGowan, from CBRE, said: “It’s been great to work with the team in getting this deal over the line. Retaining IDHL as an occupier is testament to the quality of the office space on offer at 10 South Parade.”
