Business relocation specialist Harrow Green has completed a major moving project for Yorkshire Housing.
The project involved moving furniture, IT and the main computer server to the organisation’s new headquarters in Leeds city centre consolidating nine offices into one.
The relocation follows a review of all Yorkshire Housing’s office accommodation, which highlighted the need to provide the best possible facilities for service delivery and have its corporate services teams and managers, who need to work together, based in one central location.
The move, which was managed by Karl Crompton and Karen Adams of Harrow Green and Duncan Cruickshank and Phil Aston from Yorkshire Housing, involved relocating 231 people – from offices at York, Bradford, two sites in Leeds, Sheffield, Osbaldwick, Malton, Skipton and Huddersfield; many taking place over weekends.
Ben Johnson, the office fit out and furniture company from York that recently formed a strategic partnership with Harrow Green, supplied new furniture for the building.
Not-for-profit Yorkshire Housing provides over 16,000 affordable homes throughout Yorkshire. It also provides management services to over 900 leaseholders and develops around 300 new properties each year. The company said Harrow Green won the tender for the contract for its flexible approach and its ability to manage the capacity of the project.
