Robertson Group has expanded its operations in Tayside by opening a new office.

The new Robertson House facility will be home to 56 staff across the company's construction, facilities management and special projects divisions.

It was officially opened on Thursday, 29 October.

Founder and Executive Chairman, Bill Robertson CBE, said: "While Robertson Tayside's new office is based in Dundee, in opening Robertson House we have made a firm commitment to the communities of Tayside, Perthshire, Angus and the wider area.

"With a focus on creating a strong, skilled local workforce and a vibrant construction sector across the east coast, Robertson Tayside has become a significant part of our growth plans.


"We have started on a very firm footing with more than £122 million of work underway already. However, this is not the end of our ambitions and we look upon our success so far as offering a very solid platform for further growth.

"With a further £120 million of work in the pipeline and £50 million of potential work identified by our team, we are already on course to deliver this."

Among the contracts already being delivered include the £30m construction of a new campus for Harris Academy in Dundee, the £25m Brechin Community Campus project and the £15m refurbishment of Perth Theatre.

Derek Shewan, COO of Robertson, added: "We have a long history in Dundee, Tayside and the wider area, including building and maintaining six primary and two secondary schools for Dundee City Council.

"However, the opening of our latest office in Dundee, Robertson House, is a significant milestone for the company."
