Evoke has revealed further plans and details regarding its new office in Leeds, which is due to open later this summer, ending its 20-year stay in the St Johns Centre.
The new headquarters in the West Village is a 15-minute walk from the St Johns office and 10 minutes from Leeds Station.
More than 750 staff members across evoke’s trading, retail, technology and compliance teams will be housed in the new West Village facility.
Staff will be placed across the ground and first floor, with the hub including a townhall for company-wide meetings, dedicated desk areas, several meeting rooms, booths and social areas for employees to “connect and collaborate”.
Plans are also in place for the new office to house a “bespoke, state-of-the-art broadcast facility” which will allow for live content to be streamed to the operator’s TV channels.
Several audio booths and a visual radio studio will be installed in the building, for evoke’s live channels and pre-recorded content.
Outside of work facilities, the West Village office will include a gym, café, breakout areas as well as showers and dressing rooms.
It will also include a secure bike storage unit, with the space also home to cooking classes, wellness sessions and a book club for employee wellbeing.
Rik Barker, group chief information and technology officer, said: “St Johns has been our Leeds home for over two decades, but now is the right time for a change.
“We are extremely excited to share our plans to create a purpose-built space that better reflects who we are today: collaborative, innovative and forward-looking.
“We’re particularly proud to be introducing a new studio that will open up creative opportunities for our teams and connect even more closely with our audiences, both in-store and online.
“This is an exciting moment for our colleagues and a further demonstration of our long-term commitment to Leeds.”
Evoke’s new office space in Leeds sees the operator continue to be one of several gambling companies to have a headquarters in the West Yorkshire city.
In April, LeoVegas Group announced plans to open a new office on the ground and lower floor of Tailor’s Corner.
Flutter also boasts a Leeds office at Wellington Place, while Superbet runs a satellite hub in the city.
