GL Barker & Co LLP purchase Leeds premises to boost business growth

GL Barker & Co LLP has purchased and undertaken a major refurbishment of its Cross Gates, Leeds premises after securing funding from NatWest.

GL Barker & Co LLP, which specialises in managing accounts for SMEs throughout Yorkshire, is currently experiencing growth in the company team with the recent appointed of a new recruit that brings its total staff number to 15.

Since purchasing the property, a number of significant improvements have been made, including refurbishing the reception area in the main building and creating new office areas.

GL Barker & Co LLP, established in 1987, is also developing two flats in one of the buildings located on the site.

NatWest supplied a Commercial Mortgage to support the purchase.

Peter Holleran of GL Barker & Co LLP, said: “It was the right time for us to buy the property. By having our own premises we can better adapt them to meet the needs of the business which will allow us to continue to serve our clients.

“NatWest have been very good to work with on this purchase as they have provided excellent support that was forward thinking and coincided with our business goals.”

Craig Emmerson, NatWest relationship manager, added: “G L Barker & Co LLP and NatWest have a longstanding relationship in which we have established an excellent understanding of the firm’s goals and ambitions. It’s an exciting time for the firm as they look to new business opportunities and I wish them every success for the future.”
