Recruitment firm to create 43 new jobs after doubling Yorkshire office space
The company has moved into a new 5,250 sq ft office at Broad Gate in Leeds with its workforce expected to increase from 42 to 85 by the end of next year.
It previously occupied 2,450 sq ft in the same building.
Ian Cundale, chief executive officer of Verrus, said: “These are exciting times for us. We continue to expand across the globe, with an already established footprint in Europe and North America and increasing revenues throughout South America and APAC regions.

The 300,000 sq ft building, which is marketed by Knight Frank, comprises four floors of office space and a suite of penthouse offices, together with four retail units. Broad Gate has a roof terrace providing areas to work, rest and play.
Verrus first moved into Broad Gate in 2011. Other occupiers include KPMG, Yorkshire Building Society, Colliers, Kaplan, Hays Recruitment and Lifesearch.
Broad Gate was formerly the home of Lewis’s, the first department store in Leeds, which was built in 1932, and then Allders.
