Caledonian Sleeper Suite
Speirs Gumley moves headquarters
Bringing luxury to Caledonian Sleeper
C
aledonian Sleeper has long been an iconic means of travel between Scotland and
London, and the company is currently experiencing one of the most exciting times in its history as it gets set to introduce a fleet of new trains from October this year. Made possible due to an investment
of more than £100m, part-funded by a £60m capital grant from Scottish Ministers, the new trains will provide guests with an efficient service and comfortable accommodation. Among the host of benefits on
the new fleet is a range of travel options including Club Rooms and Suites which both come with an en suite. Other new features will
include a hotel-style key card system and Wi-Fi throughout the train, providing space to both work and relax. Everything from the style of the rooms to the Caledonian Sleeper Guest Ambassadors who provide a warm greeting to guests as they board the train has been based on luxury hotel experiences. There will also be an on-board Club Car, an evolution of the existing and popular Lounge Car. Building on the recognition from VisitScotland, which awarded Caledonian Sleeper with its Taste Our Best Award in light of the quality Scottish produce used on board, the Club Car will be a means to showcase some of the amazing food and drink that Scotland has to offer.

CYBG announces new
Glasgow head office CYBG, owner of Clydesdale Bank, has announced its plans for a new head office, based in Glasgow, signing a lease on office space to be built on Bothwell Street. The move demonstrates the bank’s
long-term commitment to the city and supports its view that Glasgow is a key location for the financial services industry.
Currently, CYBG employees are
located across three different sites – including its current Head Office in St Vincent Place, in the Guildhall
in Queen Street and Granite House in Stockwell Street – as well as a number of smaller sites in other premises in the city. With leases due to expire in the next
few years, it presented the business with an opportunity to review the property portfolio and consider a new approach. Moving to a single, city-centre location will improve the working environment for employees, but also enable colleagues to work closer together and enhance the service the bank can provide to customers. The building will be fitted to a bespoke CYBG layout, and employees will be involved in the design and specification to ensure it meets the needs of the business.
