UP to 50 new jobs are planned in Glenrothes, with the opening of an office in the Fife town by an English company focused on furniture, fixtures and equipment asset management in corporate workplaces, and the circular economy.
GGMS, which is based in Telford, highlighted its plans to create the jobs in Glenrothes over the next three to five years.

It noted its technology aims to “seamlessly manage the entire lifecycle of FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) to unlock more value from furniture [assets] through smart reuse, whilst achieving sustainability goals”.

Andrew Neill, business development director of GGMS, said: “We’re really pleased to find a suitable base in Scotland as we look to open more...hubs across the UK. As we have several clients in Scotland it makes sense to open a hub here. We’ll reduce our carbon footprint in the process which is central to our ethos.
“Our business, providing robust reporting and tracking carbon footprint on a project-by-project basis, is growing fast.”
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
