Progress on Flagship Edinburgh UK 바카라 사이트 Hub
Significant milestone as keys are formally handed over to the Scottish Secretary
New UK 바카라 사이트 Hub in Edinburgh
The opening of the new flagship UK 바카라 사이트 hub in Edinburgh moved a step closer today [13 June 2019] when the property developers Artisan Real Estate formally handed over the keys of the building to Scottish Secretary David Mundell.
The new Hub, located near Waverley Station in the heart of Edinburgh, is a seven story, 190,000 square feet, ultra-modern office space. It will bring together nearly 3,000 UK 바카라 사이트 civil servants from a range of UK 바카라 사이트 departments.
Due to open in Spring 2020, the Hub will improve the work of the UK 바카라 사이트 in Scotland, helping them deliver better services for Scottish people. It will enable closer collaboration between departments, smarter working, and use of the latest technology. The Hub will incorporate a Cabinet Room, allowing the UK 바카라 사이트 Cabinet to meet in a purpose built room, the first time such a facility has been available in Scotland.
Secretary of State for Scotland Mr Mundell said:

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is delivering the Edinburgh Hub on behalf of the UK 바카라 사이트, and will be based there when the first teams start to move in from April 2020.
HMRC has been at the cutting edge of delivering UK 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 Hub strategy and is leading on delivering the future estate strategy for the UK 바카라 사이트, enabling closer working between UK 바카라 사이트 departments.
Developers Artisan worked hand in hand with construction partners McAleer & Rushe and designers Allan Murray Architects to deliver the Hub ahead of time and on budget.
Mr Mundell was joined at the key handover by:
- Lord Keen, Advocate General for Scotland
- Neville Myers, Deputy Director, 바카라 사이트 Property Agency
- Clive Wilding, Property Director, Artisan Real Estate (developer)
- Seamus McAleer, Founder & Chairman, McAleer and Rushe (construction company)
- Gillian McGregor, Director, Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland
Work is also underway on a first Glasgow Hub, with a second one to follow. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Hubs are a key part of the UK 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 commitment to delivering excellent public services for people in Scotland, building a strong Civil Service outside London and leading the way in regional regeneration. Across the UK it is estimated that the UK 바카라 사이트 Hubs programme will save more than 拢2 billion of public money over twenty years, relocating civil servants from existing, often fragmented office locations, to modern, cross-departmental workplaces.
