Thomas & Adamson on the move with new Glasgow and Edinburgh offices
After more than 85 years at Edinburgh’s Wemyss Place and 40 years at Woodside Terrace in Glasgow, Thomas & Adamson is moving to new offices.
The Edinburgh office will be moving to Lister Square at Quartermile, while the new location in Glasgow will be Libertas House at St Vincent Place.
Senior partner Alastair Wallace said: “2020 has presented many challenges, however there is no denying opportunities have also occurred. At the start of the year, we were in the middle of a business modernisation project, which was centred around ‘people, premises and systems’. Whilst COVID has had a significant impact on everyone’s life, it has bizarrely confirmed that our strategy was robust for now and the future and has given us the confidence to accelerate many of our plans.
“Accordingly, we appointed Cuthbert White to help us review our premises strategy, which ultimately resulted in us finding new premises. All our team have efficiently adapted to new ways of working during lockdown and our technology investment enables everyone to undertake their working day, around their own life and we wish for this to continue. The criteria for our new offices was to remain in city centre locations, and to provide an environment which could be transformed into space to suite our new ways of working.
“Cuthbert White certainly delivered on both locations. Edinburgh will be moving to Lister Square at Quartermile, an award-winning development we have a long and successful working relationship with. Glasgow will be moving into the heart of Glasgow city centre at Libertas House, St Vincent Place.
“Form Design has been appointed to design our new agile, innovative, modern working environment and we cannot wait to showcase what they have planned. We are hoping offices will be ready in February and we will open our doors to friends when restrictions allow us.
“Our people are our greatest asset and it is vital our work environment inspires and motives our colleagues. Our office investment is designed to be a place they want to be and within a company they want to remain.”
