On the move: Wates Living Space Homes; Principles Communications; Netpremacy
THE global director at Google for Work Thomas Davies has officially opened the Netpremacy Leeds HQ.
The office interior has been brought together using innovative designs from Google offices around the globe.
Cloud computing and security firm Netpremacy recently upgraded to an office space three times larger than its former headquarters. Now occupying 5,000 sq ft of the ground floor at the fully let 6 Wellington Place, Netpremacy embarked upon a £400,000 fit out programme.
Key features of the interior design include a state of the art spaceship style interactive board room, a wooded grassland break out area together with soundproofed conferencing booths and bespoke handmade office furnishings.
Michael Carter, CEO at Netpremacy, said: “It’s a really exciting time for Netpremacy and we’re really looking forward to making ourselves at home in our brand new Leeds HQ at 6 Wellington Place. I wanted to create an environment that our employees can flourish in and enrich the way that they work. Each section of the office is designed to provide the opportunity for our talented teams to reach their full potential. Our new headquarters is more than just an office; the right office environment sets the bar for office moral and I want our specialists to enjoy working here just as much as they enjoy being at home.
“We’ve worked with MEPC for more than 10 years so it made complete sense when we were expanding the office to move into the latest phase of its development. It’s a brand new high-tech modern premier grade office facility and that is exactly what we need being a constantly evolving technology business.”

NATIONAL developer Wates Living Space Homes has made a move from its former Leeds office at Gelderd Road to support its ongoing expansion in the new build housing market.
The business, part of the Wates Group, has taken up residence at Leeds Valley Park, which has now become the Yorkshire and North East base for the 187-strong Wates Living Space Homes team.
The move follows the Wates Group’s announcement of the integration of its new build homes and land developments businesses, which has created a combined residential division with strengthened capabilities in the housing market.
Wates Living Space Homes’ portfolio in the region currently includes Hull City Council’s £80m PFI extra care housing scheme in addition to a number of partnership housing developments across Yorkshire and the North East.
The developer is also currently delivering Newcastle City Council’s £13m Central Walker retirement village development and recently completed Gordon Place, a collection of 45 new homes and a 67-unit care home in Wakefield on behalf of Chevin Housing.
Mick Holling, business director for Wates Living Space Homes, said: “Our business is in an extremely progressive period as we look to integrate our new build residential and development businesses, a move that will see our presence in the new build housing market grow significantly.
“Our move to the new office at Leeds Valley Park comes at an exciting time and is a crucial step in accommodating our expanding project portfolio, providing a perfect platform for our future growth.”
