The Thorpe Park Centre is on the south-eastern outskirts of Leeds within a large, thriving business and retail park which is still expanding and set to become the region's premier out of town location. Clients and visitors receive a warm welcome in the centre's vibrant, modern reception area. There are a variety of architectural styles across the park and buildings range in size from small offices to corporate headquarters. This dynamic business environment is already home to 4,500 people and over 40 national and international companies including world leaders in IT, construction, energy and telecommunications. Thorpe Park is also home to the University of Leeds' knowledge economy campus, a unique setting enabling close collaboration between academia and business. More than a third of the land on this site is being used to create a green park which will be the largest park created in the city since the early 1900s.
