GAP Group has acquired a new headquarters overlooking the M8 motorway in the North of Glasgow.
The equipment hire company bought Citypoint 2 on Tyndrum Street in Glasgow for an undisclosed price as part of plans to relocate its current headquarters to the 38,836 sq ft office building.
The building, which is arranged over ground and four upper floors, features a rooftop terrace and wellbeing area.
It employs more than 1,800 people across 145 locations in the UK, with a turnover in excess of £220m, and has plans to double in size over the next six years.
Growth in recent years has come via the addition of 10 new divisions, including welfare services, survey and safety, non-mechanical, lifting, trenching and shoring and tanker services.
Douglas Anderson, joint managing director at GAP Group, said: “GAP’s head office has been located at Carrick House for over 25 years now, where we originally started out with just 17 employees based in the building - this has now grown to almost 200 staff in total.
“For this reason and to accommodate further expansion, our new office, based in the north of Glasgow city centre and twice the size of Carrick House has been purchased - a key use of the extra floor space will be for data interrogation and logistical support to drive efficiency.
“We are completely refurbishing this building and are determined to create a state of the art working environment for all current and future employees.”
