Global Unveils Plans for Multi-Million HQ at Inverness Campus, Uniting Group Companies Under One Roof

As news of the group’s rebrand was released, chairman, Roy MacGregor, also broke ground on Global’s new multi-million pound 2,000m, state-of-the-art headquarters at the heart of HIE’S Inverness Campus Freeport zone. Having outgrown its long-term Henderson Road HQ, the new office will facilitate future growth, creating space to accommodate up to 50 new staff. 

The move to new premises at the heart of the Highland capital’s innovation hub comes on the back of a sustained period of growth, which has seen it add companies including: planning, environmental, sustainability, engineering and safety consultants, Arthian (formerly Mabbett & IKM Consulting); energy infrastructure business, Approved Power Services; and construction companies, Capstone Construction and ScotBuild - to their portfolio in the past couple of years. 

The eye-catching design for the building has been created by award-winning lead architect, David Lawrie, from Bracewell - another recent addition to the Global portfolio, which will also be based out the office. Fellow group company, Capstone Construction, will be principal contractor on the project which is expected to be completed by Autumn 2026. 

The investment in a new headquarters brings the operational offices of companies within the group together under one roof for the first time. Our Corporate Services Team, Global Infrastructure, Global Power Services, Arthian, Bracewell, Global Highland, Chance Recruitment and Be Personnel will all have a presence at the new HQ.

Speaking about the new state-of-the-art headquarters for Global, chairman, Roy MacGregor, said: 

“The move to our new, purpose-built office will support the group’s ambitious growth strategy. I think the level of investment in our new HQ sends a strong message to the market that through enhanced collaboration, acquisition and maximising of synergies across our portfolio, we will continue to unlock new opportunities within the green energy and utilities sectors - as well as exploring new markets. 

“The investment in this fantastic new building comes after we have added 8 companies to the Global portfolio in the last 18 months. The new HQ will give us space to expand as we make further acquisitions and grow organically.”
