Civil engineering company JN Bentley has doubled its office space at 1 Whitehall Riverside in Leeds city centre.
Part of the Mott MacDonald Group, JN Bentley is taking over the whole of the 17,124 sq ft fifth floor in the office building.
The Skipton-based company originally moved its Leeds city centre operations from Bank House to 1 Whitehall Riverside in October 2023.
1 Whitehall Riverside is now home to employees from JN Bentley and colleagues from Mott MacDonald and JBA Consulting working within the company’s design-and-build businesses – Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) and JBA Bentley.
With a contemporary open-plan design, the office promotes collaborative working with purpose-built co-working areas, focus rooms and meeting rooms fitted with state-of-the-art technology.
Jonny Burton, director, JN Bentley, said: “We are delighted to be doubling our operational space at our city centre Leeds office.
“Record levels of investment in the UK water sector, coupled with buoyant frameworks across our other environmental and industrial markets, means our teams are growing. We need this additional space to facilitate even better collaboration that will help deliver the outcomes our clients and their customers need.
“The office will be home to our colleagues delivering projects on our important frameworks with the likes of Yorkshire Water, Canal & River Trust, the Environment Agency, and Associated British Ports.”
Eamon Fox, head of the Leeds office of Knight Frank, who advised JN Bentley, added: “1 Whitehall Riverside is owned by NFU Mutual, we have continually collaborated with JN Bentley over the years, and it’s wonderful to see the continued growth of the firm.
“Office expansion, when done strategically, can significantly contribute to business success by enhancing employee morale, promoting collaboration, improving client perception, and facilitating future growth, we wish the team further success.”
