GRAHAM is to lead the build of Sky’s new Livingston Campus which will accommodate around 3,000 employees.
The project will replace four existing buildings at Kirkton Campus and a leased space at Alba Campus, both in Livingston, creating a new site spanning 15 acres and more than 21,000m², with enhanced green areas and modern, flexible workspaces.
Sky has had a base in Livingston for over three decades, with it saying the new campus – which recently secured planning approval – will provide a ‘future-ready’ home for its workforce whilst supporting its long-term growth ambitions in Scotland.
Chris MacLeod, regional director at GRAHAM Building North, said, ”Sky’s investment in Livingston is one of the most significant workplace developments Scotland has seen in recent years, and GRAHAM is committed to delivering a campus that reflects that scale and ambition. We will be working closely with local suppliers and businesses throughout, ensuring the project generates real and lasting economic benefit for West Lothian and the wider region.”
Sophia Ahmad, CEO of UK consumer, Sky, commented, “Securing planning approval for our Livingston Campus is a significant milestone and a vote of confidence in Scotland. The new campus will create a fantastic workplace for our teams while delivering lasting economic benefits for the local community and wider region.”
Gregor Poynton, MP for Livingston, added, “Sky’s decision to invest in a new Livingston campus is a major vote of confidence in our highly-skilled workforce, our local economy and West Lothian’s future as a place to do business.
“For more than 30 years, Sky has been part of the fabric of Livingston and West Lothian, providing thousands of high-quality jobs and making an enormous contribution to our local economy.
“This investment in a new, state-of-the-art campus demonstrates Sky’s long-term commitment to Livingston and recognises the incredible talent, skills and dedication of the people who work here. It will also create opportunities for local businesses and suppliers as the development progresses, bringing wider economic benefits across West Lothian.
“This development will help secure Sky’s presence in Livingston for decades to come while reinforcing West Lothian’s reputation as one of Scotland’s leading locations for investment, innovation and high-quality employment.”
