Amey relocates to Maxim Park in Motherwell
Amey, one of the UK's leading transport infrastructure and complex facilities engineers, has relocated to Maxim Park in Motherwell.
Previously based at Precision House, the first-ever speculative office building in Eurocentral, Amey will move into a new 11,627 sq. ft office.
This relocation strengthens Amey's operations and reinforces its commitment to "modern, high-quality workspaces designed to meet evolving business needs".
The new Maxim Park 2 office features a contemporary fit-out to enhance collaboration and efficiency for Amey's teams.
Aligned with Amey's sustainability goals, the space is built with energy efficiency in mind, featuring LED lighting and achieving an impressive EPC rating of A (score of seven).
This not only reduces environmental impact but also optimizes operational workflow.
Serving as Amey's Scotland hub, the new space will support critical improvements across Scotland's road and rail infrastructure.
This move is driven by the company's expansion and significant growth across its Scottish operations, reflecting rising demand for its expertise in sustainable infrastructure solutions.
Richard Egan, business director at Amey, said: "Our relocation to Maxim Park marks an exciting new chapter for Amey in Scotland.
"This move reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions while supporting our growing operations across the region.
"Beyond its strategic location and modern facilities, Maxim Park provides a comfortable, collaborative, and sustainable workspace that enables our team to work more efficiently and creatively. Investing in a high-quality environment ensures our people have the best resources to continue driving improvements across Scotland's critical road and rail networks."
Caroline Baillie, director of park services at Maxim Park, added: "Maxim is currently 70 per cent let, bucking the trend and reflecting strong demand for high-quality space in between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
"A high occupancy rate indicates a thriving business environment and sustained interest from a diverse range of tenants.
"It's great that Amey has chosen to relocate in Maxim joining other corporate firms and growing occupiers.
"With only 30 per cent of space remaining available, Maxim Park presents a prime opportunity for new occupants to join a vibrant and dynamic business community.
"The strong uptake also underscores our strategic location, modern amenities and services, and our leasing terms."
Andy Cunningham of MC2 said: "Maxim 2 has launched on a strong footing following this significant letting to Amey and building momentum across the site.
"With good occupancy already achieved and 70 per cent of the space let, Maxim 2 is seeing strong interest from a range of prospective tenants.
"This early success highlights the appeal of the location, high-quality facilities, and the confidence businesses have in joining this vibrant community."
BNP Paribas Real Estate acted for Amey and MC2 acted for Maxim Park in the deal.

Tougher rules needed for utility firms digging up roads, MPs say
A new watchdog should also be appointed to manage the disruption caused by firms carrying out work on pipes and cables in England. Transport Committee chairwoman Ruth Cadbury said a pattern of repeated works can feel like a 'recurring nightmare' for road users. Under current rules, utility firms are responsible for the quality of the road surfaces they have reinstated for two years after works have completed, or three years in the case of deeper excavations. The committee called for that period to be extended to five years so council tax payers do not have to pick up the bill for repairing potholes caused by shoddy remediation work. Other recommendations from the committee included: – Tighter use of immediate permits enabling companies to dig up roads with little or no notice given to the local authority. – A new streetworks commissioner, similar to the Scottish roadworks tsar, to monitor performance and resolve disputes. – The wider use of lane rental schemes, charging firms up to £2,500 a day to incentivise quicker completion of works. – Better co-operation so utility firms and housing developers can work on the same bit of road at the same time rather than have repeated closures. Labour MP Ms Cadbury acknowledged that ageing infrastructure under the roads needed to be maintained and upgraded and extra cables and pipes were required for new homes. 'But as every road user knows, street works can feel like a recurring nightmare,' she said. The committee's recommendations would make a huge difference if they were implemented, she said. 'Upping the quality of reinstatement works will help stem the never-ending plague of potholes on local roads. 'Lane rental schemes should provide a financial incentive to complete works on time. 'And longer-term planning and earlier notification should help councils prevent the infuriating occurrence of multiple roads being closed in one locality, or the same road being dug up multiple times in one year.' A Department for Transport spokesman said: 'We wholeheartedly agree that streetworks are far too disruptive for drivers and that is why we have taken action to prevent the impact on drivers. 'We've cracked down on streetwork companies overrunning or leaving roads poorly repaired by ramping up fines and giving local authorities new powers to coordinate roadworks more efficiently and will put measures in place so 50% of surplus lane rental funds must be invested into highway maintenance. 'We are determined to end the pothole plague, which is why we are already investing £1.6 billion this year to help local authorities resurface local roads and fix the equivalent of up to seven million extra potholes this year.'
