While it has offices across the Yorkshire region, the Bradford base has served as its main headquarters since 1989. <\/p>\n
According to its website, the company employs more than 5,000, of which 40% live and work in the region.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire Water said approximately 700 people worked out of its head office with others in hybrid working roles.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson added: “To bring our existing location up-to-date would have required significant investment and caused long-term disruption to our delivery and teams.<\/p>\n
“We will be maintaining our offices at Thornbury, Bradford, where we employ more than 600 people, and other key satellite sites in the city.<\/p>\n
They said: “We have now started a consultation period with our colleagues, including through unions, to ensure everyone is supported in this move over the next eight to 12 months.”<\/p>\n
Unison Yorkshire Water branch secretary Natalie Mladenovic-Haigh said they had been made aware of the intention to close the site earlier.<\/p>\n
She said: “We have now entered an elongated period of consultation with the employer and our priority, as always, will be our members. <\/p>\n
“We will continue to support any members that are impacted by this move as we move through the coming months.<\/p>\n
“The move is not scheduled to take place until the summer of 2026 so we will be working with our members to ensure the move is as smooth as possible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While it has offices across the Yorkshire region, the Bradford base has served as its main headquarters since…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-520716","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115420287678133886","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
