SCOTLAND’S second-largest water supplier is moving to a new location, with plans to almost double employee headcount in the next two years.
Clear Business – currently based in Hamilton– will become the second tenant of Clyde Gateway’s speculative office development, One Rutherglen Links. This brings the building to full occupation and represents the largest letting outwith a city centre this year.
Clear Business, part of the Verastar Group, entered the Scottish Water market as a licensed provider of water and waste services in 2013 and has rapidly gained market share, now servicing over one in four companies. It also provides business energy and telecoms services. Clear Business will occupy the ground and first floors of the building and bring 130 employees to the local Clyde Gateway area. It has ambitious plans to grow its business substantially and almost double the number of employees in the Clyde Gateway area to 250 staff over the next two years.
One Rutherglen Links is a four-storey, 34,085 sq.ft, Grade A office development – one of only a handful of speculative developments that South Lanarkshire has seen in recent years. Located beside Rutherglen railway station and national motorway networks, this building is meeting a much-needed gap for quality office space.
Clear Business will join leading provider of vital multi-technical services – SPIE UK, who currently occupy the top two floors.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
