Private equity investor acquires “prestigious” new Leeds headquarters following £100m investment

Private equity investor Endless LLP has announced the relocation of its headquarters in Leeds, from Whitehall Quay to the “prestigious” new building, 12 King Street, in the heart of the Leeds Business District, owned by Fiera Real Estate UK and Opus North.

The move follows a year of “strong activity” for Endless, which has included the acquisitions of Yorkshire Premier Meat, KTC, one of the UK’s largest suppliers of edible oils, the record-breaking sale of BSW Group, the securing of a third round of SME fund, Enact III, amounting to £100m, alongside investments in talent and recruitment across the business.

Matthew Jubb, partner, Endless LLP commented: “We are committed to investing in the future of not only our business, but our people as well. We are specialists in creating value from complex businesses and investments.

“To realise this value, we have forged a strong and growing team, to deliver in both accelerating the deal process, and in providing dedicated ongoing support across our portfolio businesses.

“Our new HQ offers us an inspiring space for the next generation of the firm, it embodies our energy and ambition, and creates the perfect environment for collaboration with our colleagues, portfolio management teams, and professional partners alike.

“We are proud of our Leeds heritage and look forward to further deepening our relationships and connections at the heart of the Leeds professional community.

Ryan Unsworth, director at Opus North, added: “We are thrilled to secure Endless as a major occupier seeking the very best, most-inspiring, workspaces for their teams and clients, as well as demanding a building with strong sustainability and environmental credentials.

“12 King Street has set a new benchmark for its combined sustainability, wellbeing and digital connectivity features and it’s a true testament to welcome Endless as a first occupant.”

The new office will become Endless’ new headquarters as of October 22.
