Henry Boot will relocate its head office from Banner Cross Hall to the Isaacs Building on Charles Street, in Sheffield city centre, in autumn this year.
The newly refurbished 38,375 sq ft Isaacs Building is located close the company’s original city centre HQ on Moore Street. Henry Boot has taken 12,800 sq ft across the top three floors of the building, which was built in 1905-05 by paperhanging merchant David Isaacs.
The company has appointed Knight Frank to manage the sale of Banner Cross Hall and its circa 10 acres of grounds.
Tim Roberts, chief executive officer at Henry Boot, said: “We have consulted with our team and undertaken a detailed assessment of our workspace requirements to ensure we have a headquarters fit for the long-term future of Henry Boot’s people and business. Banner Cross Hall has been a great home for us over the last 90 years, but as a progressive and forward-thinking business, we recognised change was needed to support the evolving needs of our people.
“It was incredibly important to us to remain based in Sheffield. We are actively involved in several of the projects underway in the city and recognise the vital importance of the regions in delivering long-term growth for the UK. Being in the heart of Sheffield city centre, with all of the fantastic amenity and transport connectivity that brings, will make Henry Boot an even more attractive proposition for the amazing talent we have in the business and the future talent we’re looking to attract.”
Kate Josephs, chief executive of Sheffield City Council, added: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Henry Boot to the Heart of the City. Henry Boot is a long-established Sheffield company and it is fantastic to see them committing their future to our city centre and our ambitious plans. We look forward to them moving in, alongside other organisations, making our vision of a modern, creative and flexible working environment a reality. This news is another crucial step in developing the resilience of our city centre to ensure it can support a strong economy and welcome investment.”
