Equiniti launches Northern Tech Hub

Equiniti has announced the launch of its Northern Tech Hub at Lawnswood Business Park, Leeds A 14,000 sq ft building is the new home of Equiniti Credit Services, the UK’s leading loans management and credit technology company, currently managing more than £20bn in credit assets.

Equiniti Credit Services has been created from two UK brands in lending technology, Equiniti Pancredit and Nostrum Group. The launch of the Northern Tech Hub brings workforces previously based in Harrogate and Yeadon together in Leeds for the first time. More than 150 employees are based at the offices; a number that is expected to grow as the company plans further investment in the area with the creation of new jobs.

Equiniti Credit Services, part of the Equiniti Digital technology division of Equiniti Group, will occupy the two upper floors of the newly-refurbished offices with the ground floor used by core group functions including Pensions, HR and Project Management.

Richard Carter said: “The Equiniti Northern Tech Hub will enable us to continue innovating in technology-led solutions for lenders, who are constantly looking at ways to enhance the customer experience in digital banking and consumer finance. Leeds has emerged as a real technology powerhouse and we’re excited to be at the heart of it, driving forward ideas and expertise in digital financial services. We’re delighted to launch the Equiniti Northern Tech Hub and to have both our local MP and the Lord Mayor of Leeds here to celebrate with us. This new building is an important landmark for Equiniti Credit Services and will allow us to take an even bigger role in the continued growth and development of the Northern Powerhouse fintech scene, here in Leeds and across the region.”
