0113 Leeds Numbers

Why an 0113 number helps your business

Leeds is a major centre for finance, law and professional services in the north of England. It also has a large shopping centre, a growing digital sector and several universities that bring a steady flow of graduates and new businesses. Firms here often win work through recommendation and repeat clients, and a local number fits that well. It looks like a business people can visit or meet.

Customers across West Yorkshire are more likely to call a number they recognise. An 0113 code tells them you know the area and can be reached during working hours. You can have that presence without renting space in Leeds, because the number simply forwards to the phones you already use.

About the 0113 area code

0113 covers Leeds and the surrounding districts, such as Horsforth, Pudsey, Morley, Garforth, Rothwell, Headingley and Roundhay. Nearby towns such as Bradford, Wakefield and Wetherby have their own codes. Leeds numbers are written 0113 xxx xxxx, with seven digits after the area code.

Before PhONEday in April 1995, Leeds used 0532. It was one of five cities given a completely new code that day, which gave the city room for more numbers. From abroad, callers dial +44 113 and then the seven digits.

Who uses Leeds numbers

Professional services firms

Accountants, solicitors and consultants who serve Leeds clients from another town can use an 0113 number on letterheads and websites. Calls go to the main office, so nothing changes for the team.

Recruiters and staffing agencies

Recruiters who place candidates in Leeds want both clients and jobseekers to see a local number. Using a separate 0113 number for each campaign also makes it easy to see which adverts bring in calls, using the call statistics.

Remote and hybrid teams

A small team spread across Yorkshire can share one Leeds number. Time-of-day routing sends calls to whoever is working at that hour, and nobody has to hand out a personal mobile.
