LIVERPOOL Football Club has signed up for an entire floor of office space at 20 Chapel Street, in a deal first revealed by LDP Business in November.

The club also has an option to occupy a further two floors at the Rumford Investments development, which would add up in total to just under 30,000 sq ft.

The space will initially house LFC’s commercial operations, with the additional office space giving it the option of relocating other departments.

The club will join existing tenants Barclays and Barclays Wealth, Bank of Ireland, Broadway Malyan, Ernst & Young, Panmure Gordon, Finch, BoConcept and Poole PR, who have already taken space in the 16-storey building in the heart of the city’s central commercial district.

LFC managing director Christian Purslow said: “Liverpool FC is a rapidly-expanding business and the new office space gives us room for growth and the opportunity to bring our commercial team together in one location.

“This will clearly help us to work more effectively and efficiently and to drive forward our development.” Rumford director Mike Stares added: “We are delighted that such a prestigious client has decided to choose 20 Chapel Street.”

The agents on the scheme are Mason Owen, Hitchcock, Wright & Partners and DTZ.
