Private equity-backed professional services group Leonard Curtis is expanding its Manchester presence with a move to a new 10,000 sq ft office at Eden in New Bailey.
The firm, which specialises in corporate restructuring, turnaround, funding and legal advice, will relocate from Riverside House on Irwell Street to the seventh floor of the 12-storey building.
The move follows a period of significant growth for Leonard Curtis, which has outgrown its existing Manchester headquarters.
The group has expanded through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions and the development of its service offering.
Following a majority investment from Pollen Street Capital in 2025, Leonard Curtis is pursuing an ambitious growth strategy, with plans to double group revenues over the next four years.

Work on fitting out the new 10,000 sq ft space is now being planned, with staff expected to move in later this year.
Dan Booth, CEO of Leonard Curtis and one of BusinessCloud’s Northern Leaders 2026, said: “This move marks an important step for us.
“While additional space is important, this is really about creating an environment that reflects the business we are building. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to create an environment where they can do their best work and continue to develop. Eden gives us the space and facilities we need for the next
stage of growth.”
Hilary Pascoe, director and head of Manchester at Leonard Curtis, said: “Manchester is a key market for us and we work closely with business owners, management teams and professional advisers across the region – Eden gives us a larger, more flexible base to do that, while keeping us at the heart of the professional community in New Bailey.”
Laura Percy, development director at Muse, said: “This latest deal marks another positive step forward in Eden’s journey and shows that businesses are still prioritising work environments that place people and their wellbeing at the heart of the office experience.
“It’s also brilliant to see an organisation which has grown and expanded in New Bailey staying here, reflecting the cultural and business district’s credentials as a destination – a vision that was at the heart of our £1bn Salford Central masterplan.”
The award-winning £36m Eden development offers 115,000 sq ft of office space and has a 5.5 NABERS UK Design Reviewed Target rating, positioning it among the UK’s most sustainable office buildings.
The building offers a range of facilities designed to encourage collaboration, productivity and employee wellbeing.
These include enhanced fresh-air systems, a roof terrace for informal meetings and client events, and storage for 156 bicycles, alongside showers, drying facilities and changing rooms.
Leonard Curtis has more than 30 years’ experience in corporate restructuring and employs over 350 people across a network of 30 offices.
