Cyber security firm Sy4 Security take

A cyber securing specialist has agreed a deal for office space at the grade II-listed Marshall’s Mill building in Leeds.

Sy4 Security has moved into a 3,521 sq ft at the building. The Mill will be the first home for the company, which recently completed a management buyout of BAE Systems’ global cyber security Enterprise Managed Security Service, relocating to the premises as an independent business from the BAE Systems facility.

Sy4 Security has been delivering enterprise-level, cyber security monitoring services since 2012.  Originally, as BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, the team constructed its service to provide protection and cyber support for the London Olympic Games.

The Mill, originally built by industrialist and MP John Marshall in the early 19th century, has been transformed to provide a creative and digital business community. A comprehensive refurbishment of the reception has recently been completed.

It is home to digital and creative businesses including True North Productions, MediaCom, Tall and Limehouse Films. New tenant Rubies also recently signed a five- year lease deal, meaning that the ground floor is let it its entirety.

Mike Brown, chief executive at Sy4 Security said: “We chose Marshall’s Mill because of its heritage and its location. The building has been standing for 230 years, this shows strength, which is a character of our business. Being so close to the city and the train station was also a huge selling point for us.

“We are looking forward to combining the heritage of the historic mill with the high-tech aspects of our cyber-security business – creating the perfect blend of old and new.”

The lettings were facilitated by Knight Frank acting as joint agents with Creative Space Management.
