The opening will mark the company’s second UK office, with Newcastle continuing to be a headquarters for the business, and the aim is to help the group support the ongoing development of the brands it owns including BetMGM and LeoVegas. 

Gethin Evans, Managing Director of UK and Ireland at LeoVegas Group, said: “We’re really looking forward to moving into our new Leeds office shortly.

“It’s an important step towards our key goal to continue building the strength of our hero brands in the UK, BetMGM and LeoVegas, by attracting top talent. Leeds will support the main office in Newcastle, which will continue to remain the UK heart of LeoVegas Group.” 

The company will be located on the ground and lower ground floor of Tailor’s Corner, a Grade A listed building that is already home to several companies including Music Vine and Circus PPC Agency. 

The 5,000 square foot space on Thirsk Row is a city-centre location in Leeds that neighbours two established iGaming employers. 

Flutter, the owner of SkyBet and Paddy Power, are based out of Wellington Place and have been since 2019. 

Whilst William Hill owner Evoke is leaving St John’s after 20 years and moving to West Village. That move is now expected to be completed in September this year. 

Independent chartered surveyors, Carter Towler, are assisting the LeoVegas Group with its expansion. 

James Jackson, who works for them, added: “LeoVegas Group is an award-winning, dynamic international gaming group and we’re thrilled they have chosen such an exceptional office space in central Leeds to continue their growth. 

“The fit out of the offices are already underway and is scheduled for completion this summer, with the team creating a vibrant and dynamic working environment which includes high quality collaboration, meeting and amenity spaces.” 

Gethin Evans added: “Leeds is a great city packed with energy and opportunities. As one of the fastest-growing cities, we can’t wait to move there and enjoy the benefits of accessing to a growing talent pool.” 

The recruitment drive for the company has already begun with, at the time of publishing, the company’s careers page advertising eight roles in Leeds. These include UK Sports Director, Senior Finance Business Partner and Legal Counsel.

With LeoVegas expecting to finalise the move by the end of the year, three of the biggest online iGaming companies will now be based in Leeds. It will be a case of watch this space on who else might join them in the city.
