Henry Boot has taken 12,800 sq ft of space across the top three floors of the Isaacs Building, on Charles Street in Sheffield, which is close to the company’s original city centre headquarters on Moore Street, before it moved to Banner Cross Hall in 1933.

The seven-storey Isaacs Building was built in 1905 by paperhanging merchant David Isaacs and has recently been refurbished and extended to provide more than 38,375 sq ft of workspace as part Sheffield’s Heart of the City development
Henry Boot chief executive Tim Roberts said: “As a business with over 137 years of history, we understand the importance of the need to adapt and evolve in order to progress and succeed. Our relocation epitomises this forward-thinking approach, marking a major investment in our people and reaffirming our commitment to minimising the environmental impact of our operations. We’re excited to have a new home that will help us to work towards our goals to achieve net zero by 2030, and empower our people to be happier, healthier and more successful in their work.”
The office fit-out was designed by Incognito and completed by ADT Workplace.
