Record growth and expansion plans prompt office move

A BUILDING refurbishment specialist has relocated to new premises more than ten times the size of its previous headquarters, as a result of record growth.
 
Fraser Projects has moved from a small office on Gelderd Road in Leeds – where it was based since the business was established in 2011 – to new loft space in Topcliffe Mill, Morley.
 
Employing a team of eight when the company first started trading, founder and managing director Ryan Fraser, now has 28 staff.

The company recorded turnover of almost £500,000 in 2013 but with an even healthier 2014 pipeline, Fraser Projects is forecast to hit the £1.5m turnover mark by the end of this financial year.

At least ten more employees are set to be recruited over the next 12 months to support this workload, too.
 
Fraser said: “I was impressed with Topcliffe Mill’s location, close to the M62 and M1. This means we can easily navigate to customer sites the length and breadth of the country, and we are conveniently situated on the outskirts of the vibrant city centre, where so many of our customers are developing their business or transforming existing environments. We’ve recently completed fit-outs for two independent retailers in Trinity Leeds for example, and are currently transforming a 3,000 sq ft office in LS1.
 
“More importantly, I identified the potential that the mill had to offer. There is fantastic scope for our company to grow here, which is incredibly important as we continue to evolve.

“Within this historic building we now have an ultramodern office, with an open plan working environment, boardroom, separate meeting rooms and a reception. It is also a fantastic showcase of our expertise, as more companies approach us to transform tired spaces into inspiring places to work.”
