2016

After the relative low of 2015 a huge high came in 2016 when we purchased The Tannery from Marshalls CDP. This move meant that we now fully own 2 out of our 3 buildings.

2015

This year was a trying time when The Tannery fell victim to the Boxing Day Floods after one of the wettest festive periods on record. Thankfully we were straight on it and our hardworking team managed to get the building dried out and back in order before our customers returned in the New Year. Phew!

The 2nd Building

That 2nd building was The Tannery, although it used to be known as the old Arla Dairy. The Tannery is even larger than Calls Wharf at around 25,000 square feet and it's arranged over 4 floors and 2 wings! As if that wasn't impressive enough, the building also sits on 1.7 acres of land (hence why we can offer free on-site parking).

2011

In 2011 all our hardwork was really starting to pay off as we became affiliated with the Business Centre Association. As BCA members we represent, uphold and surpass the BCA code of Conduct and best practice recommendation, so it's pretty serious stuff.

2010

2008

Established in 2008 by Neil Clark and Matthew Fuller, Bracken Limited as it was back then soon took on board John Clark and Denise McGeachy and the Bracken family as we know it today was started. Then after a short while Bracken Limited became Bracken Business Centres as the company grew out of the world of commercial property development and into serviced office space thanks to the acquisiton of Calls Wharf.

The 1st Building

Calls Wharf was the very first building in the Bracken portfolio and it remains our flagship property today. It used to be the Thistle Hotels headquarters in Leeds but today it's home to 2 professional meeting rooms and over 30 stylish workspaces. It's spread over 4 floors that provide around 20,000 square feet of space nestled on the banks of the River Aire.
