Corporate workplace solutions business GGMS is looking to create up to 50 new jobs over the next three to five years by establishing a new plant in Glenrothes’ Buko Building.
The company, headquartered in Telford, has a heavy focus on the circular economy.
Concerned with furniture, fixtures and equipment management, GGMS works with the majority of the UK high street banks, along with several technology and pharmaceutical companies, aiming for net zero waste by reusing and repurposing.
It has been assisted in the move to Fife by Economic Development’s InvestFife services, which connected the business with the right teams and contacts to provide a straightforward move into the Kingdom.
GGMS has already been connected to Matrix Fife, with which it shares synergies for future partnership working as part of the new site. Recruitment for additional posts within the new plant at the Buko Building will continue over the next few years.
“We’re really pleased to find a suitable base in Scotland as we look to open more regional hubs across the UK,” said Andrew Neill, business development director from GGMS. “As we have several clients in Scotland it makes sense to open a hub here. We’ll reduce our carbon footprint in the process which is central to our ethos.”
Fife Council Economic Development service manager Pamela Stevenson said: “We are delighted that GGMS has found exactly what it needs, from suitable premises, an engaged workforce and to partner organisations committed to sustainability and giving something back.
“Their unique proposition to businesses all over the UK to upcycle and repurpose as opposed to purchase new is to be commended and one we very much applaud.”
