Robot Food and Butlers move into new office

A brand design agency is to move into a recently-completed new office building in Leeds, it has been announced.

Robot Food is to move staff into the Globe Point building on Globe Road. The seven-story building was completed last summer by CEG.

In addition to Robot Food’s arrival, it has also been announced that independent café operator, Butlers, will also officially launch a 65-covers café at the entrance and reception lounge to the building.

Simon Forster, founder and exec creative director at Robot Food, said: “Since moving to Leeds over 10 years ago Holbeck has been our home. Globe Point offers us the perfect opportunity to create a contemporary hybrid working space, designed around our needs in the area we love.

“The quality of the build, the workplace amenities and the commitment CEG has for the area is what attracted us.”

Olivia McDowell, investment manager at CEG, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Robot Food team into the fast-growing business community at Globe Point.

“Designed to set the highest quality benchmark for the Temple district, Globe Point provides contemporary, sustainable space in a landmark building.

“Butlers has for many years provided a fantastic and healthy café bar offer at our Number One Kirkstall Forge development so we are delighted that tenants, and the public, will now benefit at Globe Point.

“It will bring vibrancy to the lounge area and I’ve no doubt they will put the event space here to good use as well, bringing a lively buzz to the ground floor entrance.”

The new tenant joins Jaywing in the building which will provide a home for more than 400 people.

CEG said there is “strong interest” in the remaining space, with terms out on another office suite.
