The firm is taking 17,000 sq ft on the 6th floor at 1 Whitehall Riverside, in the heart of the city.

“It is our hope that the office will be fully operational by February 2012, at which point all of our staff will have transferred from our current premises in York.”

No. 1 Whitehall Riverside provides office accommodation on eight floors totalling 126,440 sq ft. Occupiers include Cobbetts, Grant Thornton and Bank of New York Mellon.
