Lloyds Bank is relocating to the former Sports Direct site, enhancing its Newcastle presence with modern facilities and a fresh look for customers.
Newcastle: Exciting news for the city! Lloyds Bank is moving into the old Sports Direct store at Monument Mall. This change is part of a big redevelopment project.
The Reuben Brothers, who also own Newcastle United, bought Monument Mall a few years back. They invested around £37 million to revamp the area, which now features luxury shops and restaurants.
Sports Direct recently moved across the street, leaving the old building empty. For months, construction teams have been working hard to transform the space into new commercial units.
Now, Lloyds Bank is set to leave its historic Grey Street location. They plan to open in Monument Mall, taking over the ground and first floors. The bank aims to complete the move by late this year.
The new branch will offer a modern, accessible environment for customers and staff. Lloyds is excited about this upgrade and assures that no jobs will be lost during the transition.
Staff were informed about the move late last year. The bank is focusing on creating better-equipped offices that meet the needs of their employees and customers.
Sharon Doherty from Lloyds expressed enthusiasm for the new location. She believes it will foster collaboration and attract new talent. The bank is also investing in innovative features for the new branch.
Additionally, there are plans for a gaming hub in the basement of the redeveloped building, adding even more excitement to the area.
