Construction services firm Morris & Spottiswood has become the latest business to relocate to the Clyde Gateway area of Glasgow.

It will create a base for over 140 staff at EastWorks in Dalmarnock, a former Victorian era gas purifier shed built in 1843 which was repurposed and regenerated in 2023 by Clyde Gateway, Scotland’s largest regeneration project.

The £9m development was the first commercial building to be connected to Clyde Gateway’s District Heating Network which provides sustainable heat and hot water to the building.

Morris & Spottiswood is taking 4,755 sq ft of office space and follows Acumen Cyber which recently moved into the building. ESG specialist Utopi and collaborative workspace provider, Red Tree Business Suites, also have a presence.

Gordon Clyne, joint managing director at Morris & Spottiswood, commented: “Moving our Glasgow based office to Dalmarnock represents further investment in our business and people after a record year for Morris & Spottiswood in 2023 and a significant geographical expansion this year, further enhancing our coverage across the UK. 

“EastWorks will provide an attractive and well-connected workspace for our teams to collaborate. As a proud family business, it is also important for us to play our part in providing investment and high quality employment opportunities in the east end of Glasgow as part of its wider regeneration.”

Angela Rowley, head of property and development at Clyde Gateway, said: “The regeneration of the derelict former gas purifier shed into modern, innovative workspaces has been hugely successful.”
