Leeds Media Centre

Multi-tenanted centre for media and tech businesses with offices, coworking hub and studio facilities.
2018 - 2023
Lead Consultant
Leeds Media Centre is a multi-tenanted facility that provides offices, business incubation space, a coworking hub, meeting rooms and media production studios, alongside a programme of fully-funded business support.

Sam was the lead consultant on behalf of the client, Unity Homes & Enterprise. He led an experienced consultant team to design an extensive refurbishment scheme that would significantly improve the aesthetic and the energy performance of the building.  

Sam raised £2.1m working in partnership with the owners of the building, Leeds City Council; £1.6m of which came from grant funding from three different sources. 

This was a complex project that required careful planning.  The refurbishment scope was ambitious for the project budget, stakeholders had conflicting requirements of the project and the largest grant was time-limited which put huge pressure on the delivery timetable.  

This was an exciting project delivered by a committed and skilled team; there was a genuine sense of “can we pull this off?!” and a confident commitment to ensure that we did.

It really was a pleasure working with Sam. He brought a lot of experience and in-depth knowledge to a project that was complicated and very ambitious. I hope to work with him in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.
