Alternative finance lender expands presence in Leeds with ‘landmark’ office move

Following 12 years of continuous growth and in preparation to support future expansion plans, alternative finance lender Reward Finance Group has moved its national headquarters to new Grade A office space in the heart of Leeds’ thriving business district.

Previously housed in Central House, Reward has relocated to the recently refurbished 12 King Street, where the team in Leeds now occupies 4,000 sq. ft. on the 1st floor. The ‘landmark’ building underwent an £11m investment last year, to introduce a “futuristic workspace” with enhanced features such as a cycle spa, roof terraces and a sky lounge.

Reward’s group managing director, Nick Smith, commented: “We had a tremendous journey in our latest Leeds office for more than eight years. At Reward, we’re always looking towards the future, so this move is a major milestone in our expansion plans.

“The transition into state-of-the-art offices represents 12 years of continuous growth in Leeds and it sets the stage for our plans to further expand the team in the coming months.

“We outgrew our previous space due to rapid business growth across the UK, therefore the new office ticks every box. We also place a high priority on the wellbeing of all our teams, so the availability of breakout spaces, improved facilities and enhanced sustainability credentials allows us to provide the ideal environment for all our staff.

“Ben Johnson did a fantastic job with the interior design and fit out of the new space, we’re delighted to call 12 King Street our new Leeds home and very much looking forward to the next chapter for our business.”

Launched in 2011, Reward provides SMEs with tailored business finance loans and asset based solutions up to £5m and employs 70 staff across five regional offices. The company also recently broke through the £200m loan book milestone for the first time, underlying the need for this relocation to larger premises.
