Landmark Port Hamilton building redesign to become one of Capital’s largest ever pre-letting deals Lloyds Banking Group has announced plans to transform its Port Hamilton building in Edinburgh city centre into a state-of-the-art innovation hub as part of a £200 million redesign led by Drum Property Group. In what will be one of Edinburgh’s largest ever pre-letting deals, the complex will become Lloyds Banking Group’s main base in Scotland following completion of the works in 2027. Lying at the heart of the city’s financial district, the 282,000 sq. ft. Port Hamilton building has been home to Scottish Widows for almost 30 years. It is one of Edinburgh’s landmark office buildings, reaching up to eight storeys with a distinctive curved roof. In an innovative deal structure, Drum will assume control of the property and take responsibility for redeveloping the building as part of a forward funding agreement. Port Hamilton will remain the head office for the pensions and investments business as Drum has also concluded a pre-letting agreement with Lloyds Banking Group which will see the firm enter a 21-year lease after the transformation works are expected to be completed in 2027. Welcoming the redevelopment deal, Graeme Bone, Group Managing Director, Drum Property Group, said: “The £200m redevelopment of Port Hamilton presents an exceptional opportunity for Lloyds Banking Group to upgrade and enhance one of Edinburgh’s landmark buildings and deliver an exceptional working environment for Lloyds colleagues in an unrivalled city centre location. We are particularly proud of securing one of Edinburgh’s largest ever office pre-letting deals. The level of investment, structure and net-zero objectives of the Port Hamilton redevelopment sends out a very strong message for the future of the city centre office market. It also marks another exciting addition to our proven track record in delivering major office facilities for both corporate and government occupiers.” As the UK’s largest digital bank, Lloyds Banking Group employs around 10,000 people in Edinburgh across a range of different parts of the company, including customer-facing, finance and technology roles from software engineering and data science to cyber security. The Port Hamilton redevelopment is part of Lloyds Banking Group’s wider drive to create a more sustainable office footprint across the UK and contribute to its net zero goal. It follows the full refurbishment of its Bristol office in 2022 and a move to the most energy-efficient office building in Leeds last year. Chira Barua, CEO of Scottish Widows, said:“The fintech scene in Scotland is buzzing and we’re committed to staying right in the centre of it. We’ve made huge progress in connecting customers with their financial futures and we’re starting to see how powerful digital engagement and gamification will be in the future. There’s huge potential to help make a real difference for our customers’ lives and we’re right out in front building all the parts we need to innovate in a massive way.” Sharon Doherty, Chief People & Places Officer, Lloyds Banking Group, said:“We want to create a more modern and sustainable workspace in Edinburgh where our colleagues enjoy working so that we’re in the best place to serve our 27 million customers in more ways with the things that matter to them.” HSBC Asset Management advised the building owners on the transaction, noting they weredelighted to conclude the agreements to enable this significant redevelopment project. In concluding the Port Hamilton transaction, Knight Frank acted as commercial property agents for Hamilton Prop Co. Ltd. whilst CBRE acted for Lloyds Banking Group. Drum’s legal advisors were Morton Fraser and MacRoberts, Pinset Masons represented Lloyds Banking Group and Brodies acted for Hamilton Prop Co. Ltd.

Winvic Construction Ltd, a leading main contractor that specialises in the design and construction of private and public sector construction and civil engineering projects has announced the completion of The Bath House, an iconic Build-to-Rent (BTR) development in the centre of Birmingham. The project, delivered for Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Investment Management (REIM), has been designed to exemplify modern urban living and offers 406 quality, purpose-built apartments on the historic site of the former Kent Street Swimming Baths. Designed by Glenn Howells Architects and engineered by Hexa Consulting Limited, this landmark scheme consists of four residential blocks ranging from seven to 18 storeys, comprising a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bed studios as well as 3-bed duplex apartments. Offering impressive views of Birmingham’s dynamic cityscape, the tallest tower fully overlooks the local area, highlighting its innovative design and sustainable construction features. Despite the unique logistical challenges posted by the site’s compact central location – with roads bordering the development on all sides – Winvic’s expertise in delivering similar developments ensured a smooth delivery. Modernity is prioritised in every aspect of construction, with the buildings incorporating reinforced in-situ concrete frames, and a striking façade of brick-slip panels. The site is further enhanced by a timber-framed hub external amenity area, which complements the building’s sustainable design. This space is designed to host activities like outdoor yoga, an external cinema and other covered-events for the residential community. With a 20,000 sq ft landscaped central courtyard, multiple amenity spaces for residents, 10,000 sq ft of ground floor commercial units, and basement parking for 95 vehicles as well as storage for 406 bicycles, The Bath House is more than a building, but a thriving community within a community. The Bath House received national recognition from the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) National Site Awards in 2024 and won the Social Value Impact Award in BTR in this year’s prestigious Love to Rent Awards. These accolades celebrate the project’s Social Value Plan developed to meet Birmingham City Council’s (BCC) highest priorities of training and employment to address the city’s high youth unemployment rate. During construction, Winvic created an extraordinary 7,993 employment and training weeks for local people, surpassing BCC’s Employment & Skills Plan targets. This included new entrant and graduate employment opportunities, apprenticeships and work experience placements. By joining forces with multiple subcontract partners and BCC’s Employment Access Team (EAT), Winvic also enabled 54 apprentices to gain valuable hands-on experience, while almost 500 Birmingham residents worked on the project. In addition to workforce development, Winvic engaged 235 young people through nine curriculum-based engagement activities with local schools and colleges – including Ark St Albans, City Academy, Walsall College and King Edward School – and donated over 50-hours and more than £30,000 to support community projects, such as Tabor Living project, Father Hudson’s Care, and supporting the UKRO challenge. Mark Jones, Managing Director for Multi-room at Winvic, said: “The Bath House goes beyond offering high-quality living spaces. This vibrant community redefines urban living with its shared spaces and ground-floor commercial units that will further enhance the Kent Street area, contributing to Birmingham’s regeneration. “I’d like to thank Edmond de Rothschild, the entire Winvic team, and our supply chain partners who contributed to the successful delivery of The Bath House. This development stands as a testament to Winvic’s commitment to shaping the future of city living while creating valuable employment and training opportunities for local residents and young people.” James Whidborne, Head of Residential Fund Management (UK), added: “At 406 apartments The Bath House is now our largest scheme and testament to our conviction to deliver good quality but affordable housing across the UK. We’re confident the Bath House will be a catalyst for yet further regeneration across southern Birmingham and with the arrival of HS2 these are exciting times for the UK’s “second city”. Winvic have been an exemplary construction partner, allowing us the confidence to invest in a project of this scale.” For more information on Winvic, the company’s latest project news and job vacancies please visit www.winvic.co.uk.

This Blue Monday (20 January), escape the ordinary and apply for the job of a lifetime in Antarctica. British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is looking for people to work at its research stations in Antarctica in a range of roles. Carpenters, chefs, electricians, plumbers, boating officers, plant operators and more are encouraged to apply for a job that offers the opportunity of a lifetime. It’s a job unlike any other and an experience that will provide lifelong memories. Successful applicants will work in some of the most remote and beautiful places on Earth, building lifelong friendships and contributing to science that’s critical for understanding our changing world. Eloise Saville is a carpenter at Halley VI Research Station, which sits on an ice shelf and is the furthest south of the BAS research stations. This is her first season in Antarctica. “This job is unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I scrape ice off wood, drive skidoos and build things in one of the most extreme places on Earth, yet it’s funny how quickly it all feels normal. The people here are some of the most interesting and adventurous that I’ve met, and yet they’re normal too! If I’d known this was an option earlier, I’d have been working my way down here all along. It’s not just cold, it’s cool!” It’s an experience that leaves a lot of people wanting more. Ben Norrish, Head of Vehicles, joined BAS in 2001 as a Mobile Plant Technician. He has since returned to Antarctica many times, having spent 16 Antarctic seasons living and working on the ice. “There’s something special about Antarctica and the people that adventure there that gets under your skin. No matter how many times you go, when you step off the ship or aeroplane into Antarctica, you look up and take in where you are. That feeling of being in an amazing place is that same now as it was the first time. I would say to anyone who’s even a bit curious about what it’s like to live on the ice, take the leap and apply for the job of a lifetime – you won’t regret it and you don’t know where it might take you!” Looking out the window of your workplace and watching icebergs, whales and penguins is an experience that never gets old. Olivier Hubert, who is now a Catering Manager at BAS, was a chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant before deciding he was ready for a change of scene. He has over-wintered at Rothera Research Station and spent a summer at Halley VI Research Station. “Being a chef in Antarctica is a very different experience to anything I’ve ever done before. Meals are such an important part of life down South – they’re the anchors to the day so the pressure is on to create interesting and nutritious meals with limited supplies. But it’s such a privilege to cook for the team that become your family while you’re there – plus the views from the kitchen are pretty epic!” BAS is a world leader in polar research and operations. Its research highlights the fragility of the Earth’s frozen environments, and what that means for us and our planet. BAS scientists discovered the hole in the ozone layer and identified key evidence for climate change in ancient ice. It provides the UK’s national polar capability by operating research stations, aircraft and Royal Research Ship Sir David Attenborough, supporting science at the poles and securing the UK’s presence in Antarctic affairs. The first batch of the jobs – including diving officer, meteorological observer and ocean scientist are now on the BAS website at bas.ac.uk/vacancies. Applicants should check the specific job advert for the relevant closing date, with contracts starting anytime between May and September. We will continue to post more vacancies, including chefs, vehicle mechanics and zoological field assistants over the next three months. Contracts run from six to 18 months and are flexible. Salaries start at £29,273 per annum, with a benefits package. It’s worth noting there are no external costs whilst living on station as all living expenses are covered – accommodation, food, travel, specialist clothing, tools and training.

Around half of construction professionals now use AI at work – and almost all of them say it’s been a force for good. New research from The Access Group shows that 52% of construction professionals surveyed use the technology, which saves them, on average, just under three hours a week. Around 94% believe it has positively impacted their workplace, and 83% say it’s improved standards. The Access Group surveyed employees in 12 industries and professions – and found that half use AI today. Tech professionals are leading the way at 74%, then HR at 68%, while those in the not-for-profit, and health and social care sectors ranked lowest at 29% and 30% respectively. Construction sector employees cited reduced workloads as AI’s biggest benefit, followed by cost savings and improved productivity. Top five benefits of AI in construction: ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool, used by around 57% of respondents. Just over 65% also say generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, have helped to relieve stress or anxiety about their jobs. Alex Boury, General Manager at Access Construction, part of The Access Group, said: “Tools like ChatGPT can help speed up routine tasks like writing emails. But advanced tools, including construction-specific ERP systems, such as Access Coins, use AI and big-data processing to securely analyse huge amounts of data to help with cost forecasting, CVR and resource allocation. AI has the potential to be transformative to the sector, driving better decisions and providing insights to help companies build better across the sector.” However, the survey also uncovered a number of potentially worrying trends among construction professionals. Around 41% admit they often use AI to complete tasks they were meant to do themselves, and 38% say they use the technology to get ahead in a way they wouldn’t tell their boss about. Over two-fifths (43%) also have concerns about data security, and 30% highlighted confidentiality. Marko Perisic, Chief Product and Engineering Officer at The Access Group, said: “AI has taken off in a way that few people could have imagined – but left unchecked it can lead to some employees using it irresponsibly. Sometimes this is down to lack of training about the potential security risks but, according to our survey, a high proportion use it covertly to do their job for them, which is unfair on their colleagues and customers. “Construction teams need a vendor who offers the highest data protection standards. Our new AI experience, Access Evo, encourages employees to innovate, while giving them peace of mind that all information is stored in a secure and private environment and not used in other open source AI systems. Approved AI tools like these, underpinned by clear and regularly-updated policies and training, can help everyone to deliver a better standard of service, and get ahead in their careers without compromising company data.” The full research can be found here www.theaccessgroup.com/en-gb/evo/insights.

Marking a significant step in the government’s growth mission, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, together with some of the sector’s leading FTSE 100 and privately owned companies including AstraZeneca, GSK, Airbus and AVEVA, investors, and Britain’s top universities, have welcomed a plan to double the economy of the Oxford-Milton Keynes-Cambridge region by 2035. In a meeting with industry chiefs today, Secretary of State for Science and Innovation Rt Hon Peter Kyle and Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation Lord Vallance confirmed their steadfast commitment to growth in the UK’s most strategically important region for science and technology, working with the Oxford-Cambridge Supercluster Board to explore their plans. Projections from the Oxford-Cambridge Supercluster Board, which represents many of the largest investors in UK science and technology, and research consultancy Public First estimate that fast-tracking the region’s growth through policy interventions like reforming the planning system would add an estimated £78 billion cumulative GDP to the UK economy by 2035. This is equivalent to funding the national New Hospital Programme, the country’s biggest hospital building programme in a generation, more than three times over. Powered by private capital and infrastructure investment including the delivery of East West Rail and an expanding Luton Airport, the commitment – which follows the Government’s recently announced AI Opportunities Action Plan – puts the UK’s ambition to become a global scientific superpower firmly back on the table, including through the creation of 100,000 high-skilled jobs. It comes as the region’s universities join the call to reverse a so-called “brain drain” away from Britain by nurturing homegrown talent and attracting the best and brightest from across the globe. Also supporting the pledge were some of the 45 members of industry body the Oxford-Cambridge Supercluster Board, which counts among its ranks leading industry players including AstraZeneca, Airbus, AVEVA, Oxa, an international developer of autonomous vehicle software, and Cambridge-headquartered global leader in AI cybersecurity Darktrace, alongside the region’s globally renowned universities and international investors and advisors such as Prologis, ARC, Pioneer, Bidwells, British Land and Mission Street. The Oxford-Milton Keynes-Cambridge corridor represents one of the world’s most influential regions for science and technology, which already contributes over £40bn to the UK economy, with world-leading levels of patents and scientific publications per capita. Currently accounting for seven percent of total UK GDP, the region is responsible for some of the world’s most significant scientific breakthroughs including the structure of DNA, in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), the invention of penicillin and green hydrogen, as well as monoclonal antibodies and ultra-thin solar cells to generate renewable electricity over a wider surface area.
