Founder of Savills, Joth Davies comments: “We are excited to finally move into Heart of the City. It’s long been a goal of ours to be part of this exciting development and witnessing the transformation of the city centre has confirmed to us that this is the right move for Savills.”
The long-established and high-class barbers is a perfect partner to the Victorian aesthetics of Laycock House, where the barbers now boast ground and first floor workspace. In its new boutique home, Savills fit out is traditional barber shop decor with an up-to-date modern twist.

Being able to open our state-of-the-art training academy will also enable us to support other businesses with staff learning and development via a robust apprenticeship programme and other training opportunities. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Savills.”
Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “It’s fantastic Savills has been able to move into Heart of the City, signalling another exciting brand opening its doors.
