Top accolade awarded at prestigious Yorkshire property industry awards

We are thrilled to have been recognised at the Yorkshire Property Industry of the Year Awards 2023, for our work with The Top 20 UK law firm, Womble Bond Dickinson.

The awards evening is an opportunity for organisations and professionals from across the built environment to gather together and celebrate, developments, deals and projects taking place within the region. Held at New Dock Hall in Leeds, the event was attended by our Yorkshire director, Ben Rennocks.

Silverstone was appointed as project manager and principal designer for Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP when it agreed a new lease on the 6th floor at No. 1 Whitehall Riverside, Leeds, with a floorplate of approximately 17,000 sq. ft.

The scheme had been designed to meet the requirements of a “modern, forward-looking” law firm, with an eye on flexible working. It boasts a lighter and more vibrant working environment, collaborative workspaces, larger break out areas, improved facilities and technology-enabled rooms.

Also working on the project was TMS Consulting as mechanical and electrical engineer and 3Sphere as cost consultant. The refurbishment works were procured under a design and build contract completed by ADT Workplace.

Commenting on the project, Ben Rennocks, said: “This accolade rewards and recognises all involved in the fit-out project at No.1 Whitehall Riverside and it was a pleasure to work with all parties. This is a highly impressive office space and one which reflects a modern, hybrid, environmentally friendly, working environment.

“The new office incorporates a high specification client suite, where the layout and use are as flexible as possible, incorporating a range of working environments, including touch down space, break out space and staff kitchen, a variety of collaborative working spaces, areas suitable for agile working, collaboration pods, quiet working areas, reprographics hub, showers and multi-faith facilities.

“The award win demonstrates the quality of work Silverstone is currently delivering in Leeds to assist clients looking to rationalise and modernise their offices.”
