Hargreaves Lansdown to leave Bristol HQ of 40 years
Financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown is to leave the Bristol HQ it has occupied for 40 years.
The company will be moving into new offices at the Welcome Building, where it will occupy 90,000 sq ft across three floors.
The deal marks the largest Bristol City Centre letting since 2019.
The business is currently based at One College Square South on Anchor Road in the city centre.
Gary Logan, chief operating officer at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “We chose Welcome Building for its excellent transport links, next-generation workspace, fantastic amenities and strong ESG credentials – something that is increasingly important for our business and clients.
“Colleagues will benefit from a workplace that has been designed with their needs, health and happiness firmly in mind, encouraging a spirit of collaboration, community and positive impact.”
Toby Pentecost, senior vice president and head of UK offices at Trammell Crow Company, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the addition of Hargreaves Lansdown to Welcome Building.
“Attracting such a high-quality British name and renowned Bristol-based business on a long-term lease is testament to the building’s exceptional credentials, from its city centre location, flexible floorplates and amenity-rich spaces, to the highest environmental and wellbeing standards.”
The announcement follows significant interest and leasing momentum at Welcome Building, which last year welcomed international law firm DAC Beachcroft, taking 44,196 sq ft, followed by the recent addition of Unite Students, the UK’s largest owner, manager and developer of purpose-built student accommodation, which will relocate its headquarters to the building in December 2025, taking 22,000 sq ft.
