Whittam Cox builds new foundations in Scotland

An architecture firm is extending its reach into Scotland with the launch of a new office in Dundee, marking a key step in its strategic growth plan.

Chesterfield-headquartered Whittam Cox Architects aims to enhance its service offering in Scotland, with bosses saying the new office will “serve as a hub” for the practice’s growing portfolio of projects across the border, with an initial focus on the retail sector as the firm aims to build relationships with national and local clients before expanding into other sectors.

Andy Dabbs, managing executive director, said: “We are thrilled to officially launch our new office in Scotland.

“We see Scotland as a diverse and dynamic market for us. 

“By establishing a local presence, we aim to deepen our relationships with existing clients and enhance our proposition and reach for new client growth, both here and in Ireland.”

The Dundee office will be spearheaded by newly appointed regional director Clive Gordon, a retail and technical expert with extensive experience.

He added: “This is a great opportunity to build on the clear strengths of Whittam Cox Architects profile and reputation, and I’m delighted to be joining and them and shaping this new location. 

“Through working closely with the senior management team and wider practice colleagues, we are confident we can create a strong service offering here with clear potential for growth.”
