Financial planning firm has agreed a 10-year lease on two floors totalling 10,500 sq ft No 12 Princes Dock, part of the waterfront Liverpool Waters development

Financial planning firm Willson Grange is relocating from Hoylake to Liverpool waterfront after agreeing to take 10,500 sq ft of office space at No 12 Princes Dock.

The wealth manager has signed a 10-year lease at the building, part of Liverpool Waters, and its staff will occupy space both the third and fourth floors. It means No 12 is now 93% let.

Current occupiers include international manufacturer Cargill, shipping group CMA CGM and global insurance broker Griffiths & Armour.

Stuart Willson, chief executive of Willson Grange, said: “Relocating our headquarters to Princes Dock will signal a new and exciting phase in Willson Grange’s development.

“Occupying a space in the city centre of Liverpool will not only make us much more accessible to many of our clients but will also allow us to reach a much wider recruitment pool of the very best financial talent the city has to offer.”

Liza Marco, asset manager at Liverpool Waters, added: “It is fantastic to see yet another successful and thriving local business choosing to relocate to Princes Dock.

“Businesses are seeing the advantages of being located in the city centre and the benefits that it brings in terms of welcoming new clients and team members. We’re encouraged to see so much interest in our number of office spaces across Liverpool Waters.”
