Tigercom roars into Broad Gate

A MAJOR office building in Leeds has secured its first tenant.

Recruitment consultancy Tigercom, whose customers include Samsung, Canon, HP, Dell and Xerox, will base its UK and European operation in a 1,350 sq ft penthouse office space at Broad Gate from April 1 next year.

Broad Gate, on the site of the former Allders building, was renovated into 168,750 sq ft of office space. Retail space is located on the ground floor.

Tigercom’s managing director, Tony Doherty, said:  “We chose Broad Gate because it is the most prestigious office location in Leeds and one we feel will perfectly complement our superior candidates and clients and the service experience they receive.”

The 300,000 sq ft refurbishment means the grade A office space has some of the largest office floorplates available in Leeds city centre, at almost an acre each. 

Broad Gate has been devevloped by Highcross, which owns the office and retail scheme. 

Director Richard Pellatt said: “We are delighted to welcome Tigercom to Broad Gate and are confident it will prove to be an exceptional working environment.”
