West End Leeds - More than Spin

Weber Shandwick's Northern operations have traditionally been managed form the company's office in Manchester. A succession of new business wins in Leeds and Yorkshire however, coupled with recognition of the city's continued growth and success on an international level has led to the organisation opening an office in Leeds.

Weber Shandwick's initial operation in the city will service clients including The Victorian Chop House Company, Power4 and Turley Associates, from its base in the Bruntwood-owned West One building, close to the Yorkshire Post and Evening Post offices and a central point in West End Leeds, the city's new £1 billion business district.

Comments Jo Leah, MD of Weber Shandwick North: "The £1 billion investment into developing a new business district was a major driver in our decision to build a real presence in the city. We are building a strong client base in Leeds and the county of Yorkshire and we want to be in an established position for the next stage of growth in this dynamic city.

"Leeds is increasingly acknowledged as a player on the international business and cultural stage and I'm delighted that we're now officially open for business in such a vibrant city. Weber Shandwick has been operating in Leeds for some time so it is great to be formalising our presence in the city. I believe we can bring fresh perspectives and thinking to help shape the future of Leeds."
