Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) said it has completed a full refurbishment of its landmark Halifax office following a £116 million investment in the project.

“The investment not only preserves a key piece of Halifax’s architectural heritage but also reinforces the Group’s position as Calderdale’s largest private employer,” said LBG.

“The extensive refurbishment of the 317,000 sq. ft office has created a modern, inclusive, and sustainable workspace while preserving the building’s rich heritage.

“3,500 Lloyds Banking Group colleague are set to use the site as their primary workplace including nearing 100 students undertaking apprenticeships, graduate placements and T level qualifications …

“The Trinity Road site has been a cornerstone of Halifax’s business community since 1973, with its iconic diamond-shaped building, officially opened by the late Queen in 1974 and has supported generations of local families and businesses.

“The refurbishment ensured that the original features such as listed timber panelling, the glass façade, and the distinctive 5×5 grid light system are still evident within the more modern, industrial design.

“The York Stone façade has been meticulously preserved, ensuring the building remains part of Halifax’s architectural landscape.

“The extensive refurbishment was delivered in partnership with Wates and Calderdale Council.”

Sharon Doherty, Chief People and Places Officer at Lloyds Banking Group, said: “Halifax has always been at the centre of our story, and this investment in Trinity Road is a testament to our commitment to Yorkshire, our colleagues, and the future of the region.

“We are proud to create a sustainable, inclusive, and inspiring workplace that honours our local heritage while supporting the next generation of Yorkshire talent.”
