‘Pivotal’ headquarters relocation for long-established chartered surveyor

Independent chartered surveyor, Carter Towler, has confirmed relocation of its headquarters to a more prominent and spacious office at Apsley House, Wellington Street, Leeds.

The company has secured a five-year lease on 5,650 sq ft of ground-floor office space within the Grade II listed building at the junction of Queen Street and Wellington Street. Apsley House was constructed in 1903.

Managing director, Ian Greenwood, said: “We are proud of the fact that we have over seven decades of business under our belts but know only too well that we must continue to evolve to succeed.

“This is a pivotal step in our future development. It is all about providing the best possible environment for our staff to thrive in, and our clients to visit.

“Although Apsley House is a charming historic building we wanted to create a highly contemporary workspace, and thanks to the expertise of our fitout partners, Building Interiors, I think we have achieved that.

“This relocation endorses the positivity we have for the future growth of Carter Towler.”

The company employs 58 staff and in addition to its head office in Leeds, has offices in York and Durham. Its property management department manages over 5,000 properties nationwide.

Carter Towler’s building services consultancy has managed projects valuing £1.4m since the start of the year, and its valuation department has undertaken over 300 valuations in the last 12 months, some of which have total asset values in excess of £10m.

Director Matt Faulkes added: “The move has brought an added energy across the whole of the business, and it has been an absolute pleasure working with Pullans our new landlords – who also happen to be longstanding clients – on finalising the details of the new lease.

“We hope this new dimension to our working relationship will prove to be a resounding success for us all.”
