The new offices will accommodate a workforce of 1000 people with space for expansion and new employees. Managing director John O’Callaghan will head the team at the new headquarters.

Currently, Kier Group is developing a new 110,000 sq ft Grade A  speculative office development at 3 Sovereign Square in Leeds, in a joint partnership with Bruntwood which is due to be completed by the summer of next year.

Managing director of the Northern sector of Kier Construction, John O’Callaghan, said “The public sector has remained active throughout the recession as it is critical to deliver core services in sectors like education and health, and we will continue to be a leading provider of public sector projects.

“But the commercial market had been heavily subdued. Now once again there is a clear appetite and confidence to invest and build across the retail, office and industrial markets, and as a delivery partner of choice we are signalling our ability to support our clients with our new expanded office and integrated Kier presence in the city”.
