Independent business lender White Oak has revealed its move to an office in Chester city centre of more than 15,000 sq ft.
The move is to accommodate its continued growth both in the region and across the UK.
The company said the 10-year lease reaffirms its commitment to the North West as their home with a hiring drive taking place across the coming months.
The new office space on the second floor of the landmark HQ building has been fully refurbished to a high specification.
Crucially, the new space houses all departments together on the same floor, creating what the business say is a “highly vibrant and dynamic working environment”, which they believe will allow staff to collaborate more effectively.
James Felton, chief operating officer of White Oak Europe, said:
The new office move to HQ, Chester is a major statement of intent for White Oak’s continued growth and evolution.
The relocation to Chester reaffirms our commitment to the North West as our home where we can continue to support our customers in the region and across the UK.
Cllr Richard Beacham, Cheshire West and Chester Council’s cabinet member for inclusive growth, economy and regeneration, said:
This announcement that White Oak is relocating here is great news for our city and we hope that other businesses in the city will feel the benefit of having another large employer in the town centre.
Will Sadler, director at property consultancy Legat Owen, the retained agent for HQ Chester, said:
It is encouraging to see businesses thriving and bringing a significant number of jobs to the city.
