RICOH, the global technology giant, says it has underlined its commitment to Scotland with its move to new premises at the Maxim Office Park.
And the company signalled its intention to grow its headcount following its switch to the 4,467 square foot site, based at Eurocentral on the M8 motorway in Lanarkshire. Its current Scottish office is at the Bothwell Bridge Business Park.
Ricoh, best known as a printer manufacturer, has provided solutions to a host of big names in Scotland in recent years, including Scottish Power, BP, Shell and Tunnock’s. Its staff are due to move into the Maxim office later this month.
Phil Keoghan, chief executive for Ricoh in the UK and Ireland, said: “Scotland has a proud tradition of attracting and nurturing innovative businesses and continues to be an important focus for us as we grow our UK presence.”
Craig Ritchie, director at Maxim Office Park, said: “We are pleased to welcome Ricoh, a globally well-respected business, to the Park. It is great that the team chose Maxim in which to grow its Scottish operations.We offered a flexible and friendly package that allowed Ricoh to create space that reflected its specific business needs.”
Maxim is also home to biotechnology companies such as a TC BioPharm and Lamellar Biomedical, as well as SEPA, Wills Bros, Allied Glass, SureThing, Proact IT, Regus and Balfour Beatty.
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
