PwC is preparing to relocate its Scottish team to a new office in Glasgow in 2025.
The firm’s 488 people will move from the current office at 141 Bothwell Street, to the Aurora building also situated on Bothwell Street.
Across two floors, and 26,000 sq ft of floor space, a bespoke flexible and collaborative workspace will be created to support the teams working in Glasgow in realising PwC Scotland’s strategic growth ambitions.
The building, which has undergone refurbishment, is one of Glasgow’s most sustainable offices, thanks to the retention of the facade and structure as part of the refurbishment process.
With “best in class” energy efficiency, Aurora enables net zero carbon in operation and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A+. The ten-storey building has also achieved BREEAM “Excellent” accreditation.
Communal facilities within the building include a rooftop terrace and extensive cycle storage.
The office move signals continued investment in Scotland, following the 2023 refurbishment of PwC’s Edinburgh office, and underscores the UK firm’s regional presence.
Robin McBurnie, PwC’s market senior partner for Glasgow, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled that we’ve reached a key milestone in signing the lease for Aurora in Glasgow. The building is one of the finest examples of truly sustainable commercial space within the city centre, which was one of the key factors in our decision.
“Our move will strengthen our presence in Glasgow, allowing us to continue having a positive impact on the local market and feed into the local economy. We’re passionate about growth ambitions for Glasgow and our place in the city – our move to Aurora cements that place.”
Carl Sizer, head of markets at PwC UK, added: “Investment in cities like Glasgow is key to our regional strategy which is a fundamental part of our purpose and our success. It sees us leading the charge in redressing skills and productivity gaps across the UK, in order to drive long-term and sustainable growth – and aligns with our sustainability focus in Scotland which, as a region, is most impacted by the energy transition.
“It also allows us to tap into more diverse talent pools, by creating access to high quality jobs for people in a variety of locations in and around Glasgow, with a diverse range of skills and talents.”
