The Financial Conduct Authority has increased the size of its Leeds office by 5,000 square feet and expects to add another 100 people to the existing team of more than 300 who already work from the Queen Street location.

Nikhil Rathi (pictured), chief executive of the FCA, said: “I’m delighted to open the new floor here in Leeds… The expansion provides further opportunity for us to benefit from a broader talent pool, offering different perspectives and experiences, meaning we can better represent the communities we serve.”
