Gary Williams, managing director of Widd Signs, said: “As a Leeds-headquartered company, we’re really proud of our work to transform some of the city’s most high-profile developments.

“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we’re experiencing increasing demand for our services, particularly in the construction sector, with our work on The Headline and Mustard Wharf typifying the high-quality, bespoke solutions we deliver for clients.”

Located at Wharf Approach, overlooking the Leeds Liverpool Canal, Mustard Wharf offers a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with an on-site gym, and two clubhouses with private dining rooms.

The Headline, located on Wellington Street, is the latest project from the UK’s largest listed residential landlord, Grainger plc – its first build-to-rent development in Leeds, featuring 242 new homes.
