The Big Partnership, Scotland's biggest independent PR agency, has relocated its headquarters in Glasgow to Fountain House, Charing Cross, after seven years in Park Circus.
The move, which involved a £250,000 fit-out, concludes a national round of investment in new offices in Aberdeen and Edinburgh as well as the opening of a new office in Liverpool.
The agency said it had the capacity to "increase significantly" its 98-strong workforce over the coming decade to help service increasing demand.
However it also announced yesterday the departure of the head of its Edinburgh operation Nicki Sturzaker, who joined from London three years ago.
Big has more than 300 clients, and is ranked 23rd in the top 50 UK consumer consultancies, the only Scottish agency to make the PR Week list.
Alex Barr, a founding director, said: "2013 is shaping up to be an important year. We see increased revenues and positive prospects. By committing to a permanent operation in the north-west of England we are targeting significant growth in the next three to five years as we look to increase our presence across the UK."
He said Ms Sturzaker had left to pursue a different strategic direction in her career.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
