St Ives Direct is to relocate its Red Letter mailing operation from Bradford to Leeds, to give the business more space.
In the new year it will move into a recently refurbished area at the back of the former Hunters Armley plant in Leeds.
St Ives described the current Bradford factory and warehousing as "severely space constrained". Red Letter employs about 60 staff, and divisional managing director David McGolpin said he hoped they would all move with the business.
Red Letter is currently without a managing director, following the departure of Graham Thompson, who joined the firm just a year ago from rival Communisis.
"It didnt work out. We will get on with the move, settle the business down and address that role in due course," McGolpin said.
