Bruntwood has let an 8,570 sq ft office at the Grade 2-listed Cotton Exchange on Bixteth Street in Liverpool city centre to Synapse Learning.

The training provider has agreed a ten-year lease for an undisclosed sum.

Colin Forshaw, head of sales at Bruntwood, said: "We've secured ten new lettings at the Cotton Exchange so far this year. It's testament to the building's value and quality and enforces our position as a market leader in Liverpool.

"It has been a busy start to 2010 with an ever-growing and diverse customer base. We have worked hard to develop quality office space that best meets our customers' requirements."

Richard Beaumont, chief operating officer of Synapse Learning, said: "When we were looking for new premises it was essential that we were in flexible, centrally located space. The Cotton Exchange fitted the bill perfectly."

Synapse Learning also has offices in Warrington, Manchester and Birmingham.
