Julie Tong, Head of Retail at Great Food at Leeds:
“We have worked with Leeds University Business School and School of Law to create a modern, community space on the edge of campus. It’s a laidback coffee spot ideal for catching up on work or indulging in sweet treat with friends. The Esther Simpson café is a great asset to our growing portfolio on campus.”
