String of leases signed for heritage city property
TIS, an independent life safety, security and communications systems integrator has relocated its regional office from Morley to Joseph’s Well, a building in central Leeds after agreeing a lease with J Pullan & Son’s.
The 807 sq ft office suite provides a base for TIS to work with The University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University and The Royal Armouries; designing, installing and maintaining life safety and security systems that protect people, places and spaces.
Matthew Fawcett, operations manager (Northern) at TIS, said: “The location of Joseph’s Well is perfect for us to relocate our regional team of 18 staff.
“We are now a stone’s throw away from our core clients, providing us with better site access and reducing travel time.
“Our new regional office hub serves as a fantastic base for all colleagues across our group and with our ambitious growth plans, the flexible suite options at Joseph’s Well will provide opportunities to expand.”
Bruce Strachan, property director at Pullan’s, said: “We’re pleased to welcome TIS to Joseph’s Well and provide flexible office space that meets their requirements for a central location to the university, as well as ample on-site parking for their operational staff.
“This letting is the latest in a string of leases agreed with businesses who have found Joseph’s Well to offer great value office space with a range of suite sizes available.
“This includes contemporary workspace ranging from 250 sq ft, to combined suite options up to 10,000 sq ft.”
Other office space deals at Joseph’s Well include 600 sq ft to Powerplay Team Sport Ltd, part of Powerleague the world’s largest provider of commercial small-sided football, and 2,584 sq ft to HF, legal advisers in the insurance and commercial sectors, with 10 other office locations across the UK and Ireland.
Steven Bailey, regional operations manager North for Powerleague, said: “The main reason for choosing Joseph’s Well was the available options on suite size and the great location for all staff as it’s close to our Powerleague club.
“In addition, we were able to work with Pullan’s to add our own kitchen inside the office along with private office space, which was something we couldn’t get in other locations.”
Mike Rimmer, partner & chief operating officer of HF, said: “We’re thrilled that our decision to move into Joseph’s Well has been such a success.
“We were attracted by the fact that it offers modern, flexible workspace in a fantastic location that’s easy to access and where people like being based.
“That flexibility has already proved crucial for our ever-growing team.”
Joseph’s Well was built by pioneering industrialist and clothing magnate Leeds MP Sir John Barran.
The 150,000 sq ft five-storey building, which now offers office accommodation, has been extensively refurbished by Pullan’s.
Carter Towler and WSB are joint marketing agents for Joseph’s Well.
