BW cements growth ambitions in Scotland with move to Cadworks

Barnett Waddingham (BW) has relocated its Glasgow office to flagship city development Cadworks, cementing strategic growth ambitions in Scotland and its commitment to sustainable business practices.

BW has moved from its previous home on West George Street to the seventh floor of the iconic building, which is one of the most sustainable office developments in the UK and the first net zero office building in the city.

With one of its 10 UK offices based in the city since 2003, BW will use its new Glasgow home to continue delivering excellence across its diverse service offerings of pensions, risk, insurance and investment.

The strategic move, which follows BW’s recent acquisition by Howden, the global insurance and employee benefits intermediary group, bolsters the firm's ambitious growth aspirations.

The move to Cadworks supports talent acquisition, BW's hybrid working policy and employee wellbeing through an enhanced working environment, as well as providing a best-in-class environment to foster client relationships.

Cadworks also features cutting-edge environmental technologies and green credentials that align with BW's net-zero commitments.

"This relocation to Cadworks marks a significant investment and demonstrates our long-term commitment to our Scottish clients. As part of Howden, we are stronger together, and this move positions us perfectly to deliver enhanced service to our clients while supporting our team's continued growth. With this move, we are committed to securing better futures for clients, colleagues, and communities across Scotland."

Barry McKay, Head of Public Sector and Glasgow Office Lead, Barnett Waddingham, said: "Our new home at Cadworks provides the perfect platform for our next phase of growth in Scotland.

“This fantastic central location gives us the space and capability to expand our services while building on the close client relationships that have been central to our success here for over two decades."

Lisa McMinn, Head of SIPP Operations, Barnett Waddingham, said: "Having been part of BW's journey in Glasgow over the past 22 years, it's exciting to see how far we've come and where we're heading. 

“Our move to one of the UK's most sustainable buildings reflects our ongoing evolution as a business.”
