Turner & Townsend Celebrates 40 Years In Leeds

Consultant and management consultants Turner & Townsend celebrated 40 years in Leeds recently by hosting an evening reception at its stunning new offices in Leeds.

Turner & Townsend has recently moved into the beautifully restored 16th Century barns adjacent to the listed Low Hall Head Office to house its growing team of over 250 professionals.

The newly transformed barns provided an impressive venue for an informal evening of networking, drinks and freshly cooked canapés whilst a saxophonist performed from the mezzanine.

Over the past forty years, the Leeds office of Turner & Townsend has worked for, and continues to work with, many varied key regional partners.
