Leeds Office Design & Fit-out
Mcr Fit-Out completed a major 12-week refurbishment and office fit-out project for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Leeds, creating new office spaces with a focus on acoustic privacy and modern design.
The project included the construction of breakout areas, the installation of slab-to-slab walls, and the addition of bespoke joinery features for locker areas.
One of the standout aspects of the project was the emphasis on privacy, with the installation of materials designed to achieve a high sound insulation rating.
This ensured that the new office spaces provided employees with a quiet, focused work environment.
In addition to the acoustic improvements, the project included installing new ceilings, raised access flooring, and floor coverings.
The entire office was also redecorated to give it a fresh, modern look. Mcr Fit-Out worked closely with to ensure that every detail of the office design met their specific needs, resulting in a functional and aesthetically pleasing workspace.
This successful project demonstrates Mcr Fit-Out's ability to deliver complex office refurbishments that balance functionality and design.
The result is a workspace that promotes productivity and employee satisfaction, making FCA Leeds a more dynamic and comfortable place to work.

The Financial Conduct Authority’s regional office in Leeds is a major northern hub for the UK regulator, based at 6 Queen Street in the city’s financial district and now housing over 300 staff with plans for further growth.
The FCA opened its Leeds office in 2022 as part of a broader regional strategy to spread regulatory roles beyond London and strengthen its presence in key UK financial centres. It acts as a hub for the north of England, positioned in Leeds’ influential financial district and supporting the FCA’s core functions of consumer protection, market integrity and the promotion of effective competition in financial services. The site hosts staff in supervision, policy, authorisations, enforcement support and corporate functions, contributing to the regulator’s national workload while anchoring skilled jobs in the region.
The combination of scale, role diversity and location in the financial district makes the Leeds office a significant anchor institution within the city’s finance ecosystem.
