Empowering growth and success for a growing digital marketing business
September 9th 2025
Finding the right workspace can be transformative for a growing business. For Serviced, a digital marketing agency specialising in social media marketing, PPC advertising, and videography, Department Leeds Dock has provided exactly that transformation. Their journey from initial tour to becoming a valued member of our community illustrates how the right workspace can empower and support business growth.
From flexible start to permanent home
Serviced began their journey renting resident desks in our coworking area. This flexible solution allowed them to test the waters and ensure the space worked for their needs. As their team grew, it became clear they needed the independence and control of their own private office space, as well as the privacy to handle sensitive client work with confidence. The seamless move to a private suite at Department Leeds Dock has created a space where their team simply love coming to work.
A workspace that supports ambition
The abundance of facilities at Department Leeds Dock has been crucial for Serviced’s operations. The meeting rooms, content studios, collaborative spaces and cinema room provide all the infrastructure they need to support continued expansion and client delivery.
The community approach has proven particularly valuable for Serviced’s team development and employee engagement. Regular events, networking opportunities, and learning sessions mean they don’t need to invest time and resources creating these experiences independently for their team, they’re already built into the Department community.
As Adam Shire, Managing Director of Serviced, explains: “The operational aspects of our workspace are all taken care of. Everyone from reception staff to cleaning personnel contribute to creating an environment where we can focus on what we do best.”
Location, space, and future growth
Serviced continues to grow their digital marketing business with confidence, knowing they are part of a community that understands their needs and provides flexibility to adapt as they evolve. For them, Department Leeds Dock represents more than office space. it’s become the foundation that supports everything they achieve.
