Overview
The Bank of England has had a significant presence in Leeds for about 200 years and in May 2024 we announced plans to increase our staff numbers there to more than 500.
The Bank is committed to serving the British public, strengthening links with the business community in the city and region, and promoting its work to a broader talent pool.
Our Leeds colleagues work from an accessible, modern office at Yorkshire House in the heart of this thriving, cultural hub.

Built in 1937, Yorkshire House is an architectural homage to the Modernist era and has been renovated to make the most of its high ceilings and natural light. It boasts impressive communal areas including two roof terraces and an onsite café.
There are showers, bike storage, changing rooms and, as part of the Bank’s wider benefit package, subsidised membership to nearby gyms.

"Before I joined the Bank, I had a lot of doubts about whether a person who looks or sounds like me could get a job at the Bank of England. Since joining, I have realised that you can succeed at the Bank regardless of your background."
Theodora, Policy Analyst
"The office culture is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making it a great environment to work in. What’s great is that I’m surrounded by a real cross-section of the Bank that I wouldn’t find in London, I love that I can make meaningful impact without needing to be based in London."
