Don Gray, partner at BHP, said: “BHP was founded in Sheffield in 1867 and we are immensely proud of our Sheffield heritage.

“As part of this review, we have instructed Colloco and Spencers as joint agents to assess market appetite to acquire our current properties and advise on alternative potential locations.

The offices have a listed chimney in the grounds. Sheffield High School is located to the rear on Rutland Park.
