ACCOUNTANCY firm Campbell Dallas has expanded its headquarters at Braehead near Glasgow to accommodate the growth of its graduate trainee and apprentice programme.
The firm, part of international accountancy network CogitalGroup, is investing more than £250,000 to extend the office by 4,000 sq ft, giving it the space to house up to 80 more members of staff.
The move comes with Campbell Dallas on track to bring on 15 new apprentices and graduate trainees this year under its Earn and Learn talent development programme. Along with 30 current staff moving into the new area, the recruits are expected to take up more than half of the new space at the office.

Campbell Dallas noted that it has recruited 119 apprentices and graduate trainees since 2013, which included the recruitment of 13 school leavers in 2018.
And it said a recruitment drive for staff at all levels will likely see the extra space fully occupied by the end of the year, taking the headcount to more than 200. Partner Peter Gallanagh said: “The extra space will be a huge asset to the Glasgow office, which has seen double digit organic growth over the last five years. The additional capacity will allow us to continue our strategy of investing in our people, the latest technology, office systems and mobile working facilities.”
Scott Moncrieff joined Campbell Dallas in the CogitalGroup in April.
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
