Morris and Spottiswood go green

MORRIS & Spottiswood – one of Scotland's leading housing fit-out and maintenance providers – has concluded the purchase of what will be its first dedicated "green office".

The company is to open the office, which will also be a "live showcase" for clients looking at their own green fit-outs, at the Gyle Business Park.

The new 7500 sq ft office will be fitted out according to a high environmental specification using initiatives such as sustainable lighting, recycling technology and environmentally friendly furniture, materials, products and control systems.

Craig Murie, the firm's business unit director, said: "We want to be proactive in our approach to climate change and environmental sustainability, and feel we should be taking a leading role in implementing sustainable practice."
