JN Bentley has doubled its office footprint at NFU Mutual’s 1 Whitehall Riverside in Leeds city centre.

The civil engineering company, which moved its Leeds operations from Bank House to 1 Whitehall Riverside in 2023, is taking over the whole of the 17,124 sq ft fifth floor.

Jonny Burton, director at 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, which advised JN Bentley on the letting, added: “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.”
