Ernst & Young employs 350 people in Yorkshire, across two offices in Leeds and Hull. The move to the new office in Hull, which has 35 staff, is part of the firm’s wider investment plans in the region.

Yorkshire senior partner David Buckley said: “We are investing in Yorkshire; our move marks our commitment to the local market.

“Hull has a strong manufacturing and commercial heritage, which has supported long-standing, successful businesses, and has provided a stable platform for future prosperity in sectors such as renewables. The office delivers a modern environment for our people and clients in a central location, overlooking the marina.”
