Finding the right office space for your business is key, and Wakefield is quickly becoming a top choice for growing companies. While big cities like Leeds often steal the spotlight, affordable office space in Wakefield offers serious benefits.
With strong transport links, a supportive business community, and room to grow, it’s no surprise more businesses are choosing Wakefield as their office base.
Here are 5 reasons why Wakefield could be the smart move for your next office space!
1. BUDGET FRIENDLY
When it comes to choosing an office, budget is usually top of the list. Finding affordable office space that doesn’t compromise on quality can be tough, but that’s where Wakefield really shines.
Smaller than cities like Leeds or Sheffield, Wakefield offers both lower costs and great value, with riverside views (at our Tileyard North space) and built-in perks that would often cost extra in a larger city.
The best part? You’ll free up more of your budget for the things that matter, from additional furniture and tech, to marketing your new location (and celebrating your growth!)
2. AN EXCELLENT LOCATION
Wakefield might be a town, but it’s seriously well connected. You’re just 10 minutes from Leeds by train, with direct routes from both Wakefield Westgate and Wakefield Kirkgate to Sheffield, Manchester, and beyond.
That means easy access to big-city business opportunities, networking events, and client meetings, without the daily grind of commuting from the city.
Plus, with the M1 and M62 close by and plenty of affordable parking in the town centre, Wakefield office space gives you location perks without the premium price tag.
3. THRIVING BUSINESS SCENE
Wakefield isn’t just a place to work, it’s a place you can enjoy. From riverside spots like Tileyard North with its on-site bar and cafe hosting weekly events, to town centre locations like WX Wakefield, there’s plenty to explore.
You’ll find indie food spots, and a growing creative scene across the town too!
Set up your office in Wakefield and you’ll also have access to business support networks like We Are Wakefield and Wakefield Council, which is perfect for connecting, growing, and finding your place in the local business community.
4. WORK-LIFE BALANCE
One of the biggest perks of office space in Wakefield? The calmer pace. Unlike Leeds, Sheffield or Manchester, Wakefield offers a more relaxed working environment, allowing businesses (and teams) to breathe.
You can work at your own pace, enjoy lunch breaks in spots like the Hepworth Gardens (just outside our Wakefield flexspace), and soak up the culture without the city stress.
It’s all the benefits of a connected location, with a much more laid-back vibe.
