What is happening at Lloyds Halifax HQ: New look revealed for bank's iconic Halifax town centre headquarters

As these photos show, a fresh new look for the Lloyds headquarters in Halifax town centre has now been revealed.

A lengthy revamp at the Trinity Road building has been underway since 2024, including creating a new cafe, library and even wellbeing rooms.

A planning application was submitted and approved in 2023 for “external alterations including remodelling of roof, removal of three walkways, replacement of facade curtain walling glazing system, and creation of new level access ramp to main entrance off Trinity Road, along with associated works”.

In a letter with the application, planning consultants Lichfields – acting for Lloyds Banking Group – said the finance firm is “fully committed to Halifax town centre playing a big part in its future” and it was investing in refurbishing and modernising the Trinity Road building as the main head office site for Halifax staff.

The letter said once refurbished, around 4,500 workers will be based within the iconic building with a capacity of around 1,600 colleagues each day as the group moves towards a hybrid way of working.

“The aim is to create a fit for purpose facility that provides the very best quality working environment for colleagues whilst also attracting the best talent in the years to come,” said the letter.

"The refurbished Trinity Road Building will accommodate Lloyds Banking Group’s entire Halifax campus and there will be a range of different types of functions, teams and roles located from Trinity Road.

"There will be no job losses associated with the development."

The Trinity Road building was constructed between 1968 and 1974 as a purpose-built head office for the then Halifax Building Society. It was afforded Grade II listed status on in 2013.
