“The new office at Leeds Dock is a great space and offers a great opportunity to take our place amongst the thriving tech community of Leeds and attract event more talent as we continue with our ambitious growth plans in the motor industry.

“There’s a great energy and atmosphere at Leeds Dock and the team also share our ambitions for development, so we can’t wait to become part of this community.”
