Commenting on Q5’s establishment of an office in Leeds, Roger Marsh, chair of Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP), said: “I’m delighted the LEP Trade and Investment team were able to support Q5 in their location search, following an initial meeting at the Festival of Innovation in Hong Kong.
