PwC Scotland opens doors to new Glasgow office as firm continues to invest in Scottish growth

• PwC’s 500 Glasgow staff have moved to new high-spec office in business district
• The move is a milestone in the firm’s continued investment in Scotland
• The A+ EPC Aurora building is also 100% powered by renewable energy sources
• Move comes as Jason Morris steps into role of Glasgow Market Senior Partner

PwC has today opened the doors of a new Glasgow office in the heart of the city’s business district, with more than 500 of the firm’s 1,100-strong Scottish workforce moving into new surroundings on Bothwell Street – just across the road from the firm’s current city base.

The move coincides with Jason Morris being named Glasgow Market Senior Partner, taking over from Robin McBurnie, who has held the role for the last five years. A long-standing deals partner, Jason will also continue to lead the overall Scottish business as Scotland Markets Leader.

The new office space has been designed to support the firm’s evolved ways of working, bringing people together in a modern, digitally enabled environment that reflects PwC’s continued transformation and commitment to client-centric, purpose-led growth.

After 15 years in its previous location, the move underlines PwC’s long-term investment in Scotland, where it has strong and growing regional teams delivering a wide range of assurance, tax, deals and consulting services to clients across the country and beyond, in sectors critical to Scotland’s economy from energy and food and drink, to financial services.

PwC occupies Levels 8 and 9 of the Aurora building at 120 Bothwell Street. Across two floors, and 26,000 sq. ft. of floor space, a bespoke flexible and collaborative workspace has been created. The design inspiration came from the city itself, with the colour strategy of the office based on Glasgow's famous sandstone architecture. The city’s renown as the ‘dear green place’ is also on show with everything from the office’s leading sustainability credentials to meeting rooms being named after Glasgow parks. And nods to the creative force of the city can be seen throughout, from its musical heritage to street art, with hints too of the famous Glasgow humour.

The Aurora building exemplifies the firm’s commitment to sustainability and is one of Scotland’s most environmentally advanced office developments.

PwC has had a long history in Glasgow, with previous locations for the firm including Blythswood Square and Kintyre House, West George St, before the move to 140 Bothwell Street in 2009.

Robin McBurnie, Glasgow Market Senior Partner at PwC UK, said:

“Glasgow has been an important part of our firm’s story for decades, and this next chapter reflects the energy, ambition and talent that define both our people and this city. Our investment here is testament to our belief in Glasgow’s bright future as a leading centre for business and innovation, and as a born and bred Glaswegian I couldn’t be prouder of the space we’ve created for our people.”

Jason Morris, Scotland Market Leader at PwC UK, said:

“It’s a real honour to be taking over as Glasgow Senior Partner from Robin to add to my broader Scotland role. Robin has done an exceptional job growing our presence and impact in the city. I’m even more excited to be stepping into the role at a time when we’re opening a new office designed for the future needs of our people and clients.”

Carl Sizer, Chief Markets Officer, PwC UK, said:

“Our firm’s move into a new Glasgow office is more than just a change of address – it’s a symbol of our confidence in Scotland and our commitment to growing with and for our clients here. Scotland is a vital market for us, and this new space enables our people to thrive, collaborate, and continue delivering high-quality work at the heart of a vibrant and innovative economy.”

“It also strengthens our ability to tackle skills and productivity gaps, particularly in regions most affected by the energy transition, while expanding access to high-quality jobs for people across Glasgow and beyond.”

The office move comes just weeks after PwC unveiled a refreshed brand identity that reflects the firm's commitment to helping organisations navigate complex challenges, with a particular focus on building trust and delivering long-term value. This includes significant investment in areas like AI, where the firm is focused on ensuring new technologies are developed and used responsibly, in ways that benefit both business and society.
