CUSHMAN & Wakefield has moved its Glasgow office to an historic building in the Merchant City.
The property agent has taken residence in the award-winning Garment Factory, which takes its name from the building’s previous incarnation.
The building has been extensively refurbished by Castelforge Partners, which has restored many of its original features while adding contemporary touches during the project. Features include exposed ceilings, steel and brickwork, wooden flooring and ornate staircases, while its large original windows ensure the premises benefit from lots of natural light.
Other tenants at the Garment Factory include Channel 4, fintech company AutoRek, Incremental Group and 360 Architecture.
Stuart Dorward, managing partner for Scotland at Cushman & Wakefield , said: “After a challenging year of home working throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, colleagues are naturally looking forward to returning to the office and reconnecting with each other – and our clients – in person
“Whilst our first-class technology platform has minimised any disruption and improved efficiencies, the opportunity to move to a new office premises set up for agile working where a balance of office/home working can continue moving forward was considered vital.”
“The pandemic has resulted in an acceleration of change to the way we work.We are pleased to have taken decisive early action to adapt to provide our staff with the best platform to service our clients, complementing our regional hub in Edinburgh.”
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
