Aon plc, a global professional services firm, plans to relocate its advisory team in Leeds to a new office at South Central.
Aon has agreed a 10-year lease on the 4,500 square foot office, which is based on the first floor of the newly refurbished South Central building. Approximately 70 advisory colleagues will relocate from Aon’s Embankment office to the new site in January 2024.
Ted Winterbottom, programme, project and change manager for Aon in Leeds, said: “The advisory team is looking forward to starting 2024 with a move to their new South Central office.
“Our criteria, when seeking new premises, focused on sustainability, colleague wellbeing and a location that offered great transport links and easy access to Leeds City Centre. South Central more than fulfilled our wishlist.
“South Central’s numerous sustainable features and EPC:A rating is recognised in our Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) commitments, and the facilities it offers will support our colleagues’ wellbeing.
“The new office also aligns with Aon’s Smart Working strategy, providing colleagues with a flexible and collaborative working environment to deliver the best service for our clients.”
The internal fit-out is underway to create an open plan space for colleagues with meeting rooms, co-working hubs and break-out areas.
Aon was advised by agent CBRE and solicitor Heald Nickinson Solicitors.
