Keepmoat Homes expands workforce with move to larger Leeds office

The Leeds office of Keepmoat Homes is set to move into new, larger premises and expand its team after securing new contracts and continued regional growth.

Since opening in April 2016, the Leeds office has sold over 579 new houses in Yorkshire and employs 114 members of staff.

Now, the move to a new larger office space on Vico Court, Lower Wortley, has allowed for a further three new apprentices to join the team, as well as providing additional space for further recruitment.

Ella Norris from Leeds is one of these apprentices, joining the Land & Partnerships Department in the Leeds office. The position was created as part of the Leeds Brownfield Land Programme, a partnership development between Keepmoat, Strata and Leeds City Council, to regenerate 13 brownfield sites across East Leeds.

The move was supported by some new projects wins for the office, with work recently starting on 971 houses in Seacroft, Halton Moor and Osmondthorpe and a £150m New Bolton Woods Village development in Bradford.

Contracts have also been exchanged for 250 new homes on Milton Road, Wakefield and 110 homes at Ashbrow Road in Huddersfield.

Ian Hoad, regional managing director of the Yorkshire West Region for Keepmoat, said: “The continued regional growth we’ve seen has been extremely encouraging and is allowing us to build on our reputation for delivering desirable, sustainable and high-quality developments.

“We’re delighted to be able to work with key partners to meet the demand for housing in the region and with plenty of developments in the pipeline the growth is showing no sign of slowing anytime soon.

“I’d like to thank our Leeds team for all their hard work, as they continue to strengthen our relationships with home owners, sub-contractors, suppliers, consultants and service providers.”
