60th Anniversary Corporate Member Podcasts

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Leeds Civic Trust, we interviewed some of our corporate members who were also celebrating anniversaries in 2025.

Potter Space

We interviewed Jason Rockett, Managing Director at Potter Space, to hear more about the company’s key projects, what’s on the horizon, and their ‘people first’ approach. We also chatted about Jason’s own career path, detailing his days as a professional footballer in the 90s, and how his ‘back-up plan’ interest in property became a successful career.

Harris Partnership

We interviewed Paul Mitchell, Chair of The Harris Partnership, to see what he had to say about all things development, design, and architecture. With over 30-years’ experience at the practice, Paul has an expansive understanding of the world of architecture and development.  In this podcast, Paul elaborates on the future of Leeds, his thoughts on the planning system, tips on becoming an architect and more.
