Over the past year, Insights has advanced its purpose-led strategy, investing in world-class “human-skills” learning experiences and technology-enabled solutions that empower individuals, teams, and leaders worldwide.

Headquartered in Dundee, Scotland, and operating across 16 global offices, Insights Learning and Development partners with leading organisations such as Microsoft, Google and Expedia.

Looking ahead, The Insights Group will continue to invest in its 18,000+ practitioner community, digital enabling technologies, and charitable initiatives through The Insights Foundation, spreading the Gift of Discovery to underprivileged communities worldwide.

Andy Lothian, Chief Executive Officer, Insights Group commented:

“This year, we made a conscious and bold decision to invest in our future—channelling significant resources into our core offerings, innovation, technology, and our people.

“We have launched our the ‘gift of time’ initiative alongside our gift of Discovery, encouraging our people and our practitioner community to deliver our purpose beyond the confines of their roles, and our focus on strategic capability building have empowered colleagues to learn, grow, and innovate.

“We knew this would be a year of transition, and I am proud of the intentional choices we have made. Our results reflect a period of building, investing in our next phase of growth, which will enable us to deliver even greater value to our customers and community in the years ahead.”

Insights Learning and Development recently launched Insights Discovery for Microsoft Teams as a digital complement to their flagship product, Insights Discovery. The Insights Group has also set ambitious carbon staff volunteering targets to drive meaningful change throughout the business and it’s wider community.

Responding to the Autumn Budget, Steven Martin, Senior Tax Manager at HWB Chartered Accountants, said:

“I would have liked to see more simplification in the range of tax rates and allowances. Instead, there is more complication, with fine judgements needed about marginal rates when it comes to tax planning."

Five businesses spanning accountancy to healthcare can now call No.1 King Street in the heart of Leeds city centre their home, after the Victorian building underwent a significant refurbishment.

Strategic property and construction advisors, Fox Lloyd Jones and joint agents WSB have received high levels of interest in the contemporary workspace spanning 14,118 sq. ft. in total across lower ground, ground and three upper floors, situated in the professional district of Leeds on the corner of King Street and Wellington Street.

The five firms acquiring offices to take advantage of its prominent location and open plan working environment are chartered surveyors Walker Singleton, Aysgarth Chartered Accountants, engineering consultants Joseph Gallagher, sleep aid app developer Sleepiest, and law firm Ison Harrison Solicitors, who have expanded from the neighbouring building.

No.1 King Street has a rich historical legacy, with the building originally a textile warehouse before transitioning in the mid-20th century to accommodate a broader mix of businesses. The major refurbishment works recently completed include enhancing the façade, the introduction of a new main entrance and a Category A refurbishment of the office suites.

Matthew Welsh, owner of No. 1 King Steet, commented:

“We’re delighted to welcome five businesses of this calibre to No. 1 King Street, following the hard work and investment that has gone into completing a refurbishment on this scale."

"We feel we’ve created a vibrant working space that will immediately meet their needs, whether that’s needing to accommodate increased staff levels due to recent expansion through to accelerating growth plans in a more central location in Leeds.”

Harry Finney, associate director at Fox Lloyd Jones, said:

“The number of deals transacted in such a short space of time is testament to the quality of the refurbishment. The building is perfectly positioned on the corner of King Street and Wellington Street with demand for high quality workspace particularly strong in this area of the city and we are delighted to have the building now 90% let. We look forward to seeing all five businesses thrive in their new working environment.”

The lower ground floor suite spanning 1,514 sq. ft. is the final suite available in the building and has the unique benefit of its own dedicated access off Wellington Street.

For further information on No.1 King Street or to express an interest in the remaining lower ground floor suite, please get in touch with Fox Lloyd Jones or joint agents WSB Property Consultants.
