Joi Polloi is in Leeds!

We are really excited to share that we have recently taken office space in the landmark Platform building, right in the heart of Leeds.

Expanding out presence in the North, we will be in good company at Platform, joining a flourishing tech and creative eco-system in the building’s Tech co-work space. With companies including Channel 4 also making the move to Leeds, the broadcast sector is experiencing an exciting uplift in the city and we have our sights on the most creative and technically challenging productions that Leeds has to offer.

We have been growing a lot recently, welcoming 10 new faces to Team Joi in the past year, so it feels only right that we set up another base for ourselves. Amongst our recent new appointments is Robin Cramp, who joins our team from the BBC as Client Partner Lead and will split his time between the Leeds and Sheffield offices. Robin says,

“Platform was an obvious choice for us; it offers excellent transport links for our team and our clients, and the Platform’s Tech co-work space is a vibrant collaborative environment.

“We’re excited to start working alongside existing clients here in Leeds and on new collaborations. The city has a real buoyant vibe as a result of Channel 4 moving its HQ up here and it will be great to see this ripple across the wider Yorkshire region.”

Amy De-Balsi, Head of Innovation & Partnerships at Bruntwood, the developers behind Platform building, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Joi Polloi to Leeds and hope that we can support their planned growth in the city. Platform is a perfect place for the company to base its satellite office, where the team can benefit from a creative and collaborative environment and a growing presence from the production industries.

“Joi Polloi brings a strong portfolio of work and very specialist expertise which will complement and contribute to the tech and creative eco-system we have at Platform. This is an exciting time for Leeds and it’s great to have Joi Polloi here, right in the midst of it.”

So if you’re in Leeds and want to say hi, just get in touch with Robin and let’s chat!
