Celebrating one year since project completion of The Social Hub Hotel in Glasgow. The project was the first TSH social hub hotel development in the UK and was part of a £300 million masterplan in Glasgow’s Merchant City.   Works at the Candleriggs Square site, included the design and build of a 496-bedroom social hub hotel, including co-living and co-working spaces, a bar and restaurant, conference rooms and fitness centre and a new public square at the heart of the development. The new hotel boasts an advanced electronic booking system, open internet access, public spaces and highly efficient back-of-house facilities. #AsOne #GA #fitout #construction #buildings

Building Better!   February has been a busy month for Gilbert-Ash.   We welcomed a number of project management students from Liverpool John Moores University to get an onsite look at our work at Tate Liverpool.   Our team provided the students with an overview of the project and some of the fascinating technical, ESG, social value and project management challenges we will be overcoming in our efforts to deliver yet another iconic building.   A key focus of our ESG strategy to 2030 is to help increase the number of young people with relevant skills for employment and tours such as these are an excellent way to show students real world innovation and collaboration in action.   Our HR Manager, Ciara McKevitt  also spoke at Cooperation Ireland Future Leaders Lunch at Hinch Distillery.     We were also present at a number of events throughout the month including the BITC Community Connections Conference at All State, the highly informative Northern Ireland Neurodiversity in the Workplace Conference 2025 and QUB’s Annual Sustainable Construction Conference 2025 to consider how we can prioritise the re-use of buildings in the transition to a net zero future.   Learn more about our ESG Strategy on our website: https://lnkd.in/dkRSCm2N #GA #AsOne #ESG #BUILD
