About the landlord

Since 1984, 22 Lever Street has been a family-run business, beginning with Derek & Sue Bennett.

22 Lever Street has been and independent, family-run business since 1984.

With the sad passing of Sue in 2019, Derek’s son Ivan joined the 22 Lever Street team, ensuring the continuation of the family run ethos.

Derek’s experience and personable nature combined with Ivan’s motivation and new ideas brings a unique management style to the building that tenants love.

The look and vibe of 22 Lever Street has constantly evolved over the years, but one thing’s always remained the same: our commitment to providing an environment where businesses can flourish in the same way we did back in the 80s.
