The company also says the talent pool from the city’s three universities (University of Leeds, Leeds Metropolitan and Leeds Trinity) is a good source of talent.
The offices, based in Leeds city centre’s Broad Gate building, will be fitted out during the remainder of this year, with operations beginning in January.
