Insurance broker Jelf relocates after outgrowing Leeds offices

Insurance broker Jelf has relocated its Leeds branch, which has a team of 20 people, to a custom-designed office suite at the heart of the city centre after signing a ten year lease.

The 3,500 sq ft suite at 84 Albion Street, Leeds was specifically designed to meet the bespoke requirements of Jelf, with the ten week refurbishment undertaken by Harrogate-based, Commercial Estates Group (CEG).

Jelf has joined existing occupiers Metis Law and L’Oreal in the city centre building.

Director of Jelf, Chris Brady, said: “Having outgrown our existing offices we needed to find space which would not only accommodate our existing team, but also provide us with the flexibility for future growth.

“This new office provides us with just that. It is an excellent base, in a great location and heralds an exciting new business chapter for us as we work towards being the leading corporate insurance broker and risk management adviser not only in Leeds but the Yorkshire region.”

Duncan Senior of WSB said: “This scheme is offering potential occupiers exceptional accommodation that breaks the mould of the traditional office by giving businesses the opportunity to create modern Grade A office space, providing a product specifically designed for them.

Nick Salkeld of Fox Lloyd Jones also commented : “84 Albion Place is in an ideal location, in the centre of Leeds with the benefit of private parking.

“It is in the heart of the retail and leisure quarter and the train station is just a five minutes’ walk. With the interest shown to date, we expect the final suites to be let relatively quickly.

“The final suites offer great views of the city centre, and along with the other floors, have private facilities including a kitchenette as well as basement parking, shower facilities and cycle storage.”
