Engineering firm NG Bailey is moving its Leeds headquarters to White Rose Park in a bid to provide an “exceptional” office for its workforce.
The £312m turnover business, which has worked on a number of high profile projects in the UK including the Hinkley Point nuclear power station, will swap its Brown Lane West headquarters in Holbeck for space in the ABC Building at the south Leeds site. Bosses say the new 25,230 sqft Grade A office space at White Rose Park was chosen for its high quality transport links and will provide a great place to work for the firm’s Leeds-based team.
NG Bailey was founded in 1921 in Leeds and has gone on to become a major player in the UK construction and engineering market. In its latest accounts for the year to the beginning of March 2024, it said the long term outlook for its markets was good, despite headwinds including high interest rates and political change causing caution among customers.
Jonathan Stockton, CEO of NG Bailey, said: “Our move to White Rose Park marks an exciting new chapter for NG Bailey. While Brown Lane West has been our home over the past five decades, our relocation to a modern office space under a long-term lease is crucial for our growth in Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region. Our new office, combined with the numerous amenities in the Park, will foster a more vibrant and collaborative atmosphere for our team and visitors. The move supports our emphasis on sustainability and wellbeing in our workplace, with the Park being an exceptional place to work.”
NG Bailey can make use of health and wellbeing initiatives at White Rose Park including a running club, yoga classes, outdoor training parks and green spaces. The site is also home to a Starbucks, a nursery for pre-school aged children and a 200-seat communal restaurant area.
David Aspin, chief executive of Munroe K, which owns and operates White Rose Park, said: “We are delighted to welcome NG Bailey to our White Rose Park Community. Their move is a real endorsement of our park and our collective ambition to provide the working environment of the future where people look forward to attending the office.
“Our ESG credentials, alongside measures to reduce our carbon footprint and work toward net-zero will help to make the Park one of the most forward-thinking and sustainable business and education locations in the north of England.”
