Evolution Expands Across the North with Strategic New Office Opening
In a year that has already seen us celebrate our 30th anniversary, move into our stunning new headquarters at Globe House in Marlow, and appoint Jake Rackham and Mark Corrigan as our new Joint Managing Directors, Evolution is thrilled to announce another significant milestone: the opening of our strategic new office serving Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and the entire M62 corridor.
This expansion represents our commitment to becoming the North's trusted security partner, bringing world-class integrated security solutions directly to businesses across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and South Yorkshire.
A Strategic Hub for the North
Our new office isn't just about Leeds – it's about serving the entire Northern powerhouse. Positioned to provide rapid response and local expertise across the M62 corridor, we are now perfectly placed to support:
Manchester's thriving tech and media sectors
Liverpool's expanding commercial developments
Sheffield's advanced manufacturing base
Leeds' dynamic financial services sector
And every business in between
Nick, who leads our Northern operations, explains the vision: "We've strategically positioned ourselves to serve all major Northern cities. Whether you're in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds or Sheffield, you now have direct access to Evolution's 30 years of security expertise, delivered by a team that understands the North."
Meet Your Dedicated Northern Team
What truly demonstrates our commitment to the region isn't just our new location – it's the exceptional people we're putting on the ground. Nick brings extensive experience in developing security strategies for complex Northern businesses, having spent years understanding the unique challenges faced by companies across the M62 corridor.
"Every city has its own character and security requirements," Nick notes. "Manchester's MediaCity has different needs than Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Park. That's why we've built a team that truly understands these regional differences."
Supporting Nick are Ben and our dedicated team of Northern engineers – John, Jamie, and Shaun – who collectively cover every major city and business district across the North. These professionals live and work in the communities they serve, ensuring rapid response times whether you're in Liverpool's business district or Manchester's Spinningfields.
Why the North? Why Now?
The Northern economy is booming. From Manchester's position to Liverpool's massive regeneration projects, from Leeds' status as the UK's largest financial centre outside London to Sheffield's advanced manufacturing renaissance – the North demands security solutions that match its ambitions.
Our new office positions us to:
Provide same-day response across all major Northern cities
Build relationships with the North's most innovative businesses
Support the region's critical infrastructure projects
Deliver the sophisticated security solutions that Northern businesses deserve
The Employee Ownership Advantage
What makes our Northern expansion unique is that Nick, Ben, John, Jamie, and Shaun aren't just employees – they're owners. Since becoming an Employee Ownership Trust in 2022, every Evolution team member has a personal stake in delivering excellence.
This means when Nick visits your Manchester headquarters or when Jamie installs systems at your Liverpool facility, they are personally invested in your success. It's not just a job; it's their business too.
Comprehensive Coverage, Local Delivery
"We're bringing Evolution's full capabilities to every major Northern city," Nick emphasises. "From integrated access control systems in Manchester's tallest towers to sophisticated CCTV networks protecting Liverpool's waterfront developments, from securing Leeds' financial institutions to protecting Sheffield's manufacturing innovations – we're here for the long term."
Our Northern team offers:
Rapid response across the M62 corridor
Local engineers who know your city
Direct access to Evolution's global expertise
The backing of the UK's largest employee-owned security integrator
A Message to Northern Businesses
To businesses across Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and beyond: Evolution has arrived in force. We're not just opening an office; we're making a long-term commitment to the North.
Nick and his team are ready to show you what happens when you combine 30 years of security excellence with genuine local understanding and employee ownership. Whether you're a Manchester tech startup, a Liverpool logistics hub, a Leeds financial institution, or a Sheffield manufacturer, you now have a security partner who's as invested in the North's success as you are.
As Jake Rackham says, "We are truly one team." And that team now stands ready to serve every major city across the North.
Welcome to Evolution's Northern chapter. Let's build something extraordinary together.
