Office & Workspaces
Our purpose is to provide small enterprises with affordable managed office and workspaces in Leeds city centre
A short history
Back in the 1980’s there were very few buildings available for small business’ and start-ups to rent in Leeds city centre.
LCVS Enterprises was first formed when individuals for Leeds-based community and voluntary sector organisations and at least two members of Leeds City Council came together with a plan to establish a community workshops project in the heart of the city.
The immediate objective of that progressive group of people was to convert and refurbish two former industrial premises for use by new and smaller businesses. To give them a chance. A helping hand. An opportunity to create something worthwhile. It is a principle that abides today.
Our offices
LCVS Enterprises offers affordable workspace in two centrally located buildings – Aire Street and Dock Street.
Dock St. Offices
LCVS Enterprises bought the Dock Street building from Joshua Tetley Brewery in 1982 for the princely sum of £5! The property can never be sold, it can only ever be gifted to an organisation with similar objectives, to those of LCVS Enterprises.
Aire St. Offices
Prior to falling into disrepair after being empty for 3 years, our building at Aire Street was the former premises of Poole’s, a surgical boot manufacturing company. Leeds City Council acquired the building at 30-34 Aire Street in 1980.
