Financial services firm to create over 170 jobs at £27m Leeds hub

A financial administration specialist is set to create almost 200 new jobs as part of its Northern recruitment drive.

Link Group has announced it is recruiting for more than 170 new roles at its base in Leeds as part of its ongoing expansion.

The firm, which specialises in providing corporations and public sector organisations with governance, administration, and asset servicing support, is recruiting people for its technology & operations function and funds solutions and corporate markets businesses.

The 170 roles make up almost half of the 400 jobs Link Group pledged to create in the region when it opened the Leeds office in September 2019.

Located in Central Square, the £27m hub received support from the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Trade and Investment team and the Department of International Trade throughout the decision-making process.

Tim Gillman, chief operations officer EMEA for Link Group commented: ’At an undeniably difficult time for the job market, we are proud to be creating jobs for so many people in Leeds.

“This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to the region which has a strong digital infrastructure, thriving university, and blossoming financial services sector.

“We are looking forward to attracting and retaining high quality employees who will be able to grow their careers and offer excellent service to our clients.”
