Andrew Yarwood, business director at Brookes Bell, outlined the rationale for the move

“This move is a really important step for Brookes Bell in Liverpool. Our business has grown significantly, and we needed a workspace that reflects how we work today and where we’re going next,” he said.

“Princes Dock gives us a modern, flexible environment that supports collaboration across our teams, while keeping us right at the heart of the city’s maritime community. Liverpool has always been central to Brookes Bell’s story, and this move underlines our long-term commitment to the city and the region.”

Brookes Bell’s decision to relocate sees the firm join will Griffiths & Armour, Global Ports Holding, and CMA CGM at Princes Dock. The space Brookes Bell is moving into was previously occupied by the Disclosure and Barring Service, which has downsized and remains within the building.

They are an internationally recognised business operating around the globe and their decision to relocate here is a strong endorsement of both Liverpool Waters and the quality workspace available here.

“Brookes Bell joins a growing community of leading international companies and innovative SMEs, and their arrival further reinforces Princes Dock’s role as a prime business location on Liverpool’s waterfront.”
