At Kelburn & Moss, our people have always been at the very heart of everything that we do, and it is in that spirit of openness, collaboration and forward-thinking ambition that we are today delighted to be able to share with all colleagues some important news regarding the next exciting chapter in our firm's ongoing journey. As many of you will be aware, over the course of recent years the way in which we all work has continued to evolve at pace, and our leadership team has been engaged in a wide-ranging and thorough process of reflection, consultation and strategic evaluation regarding our future workplace needs, taking into account a broad spectrum of considerations including sustainability, accessibility, colleague wellbeing, client expectations and long-term financial prudence. Following the conclusion of that extensive process, we can now confirm that the firm will be relocating from our current premises at Exchange Crescent to a new, purpose-designed and significantly more sustainable home at the Bonnington Mill development, with the move scheduled to complete in December of this year. The new building, which has been designed with flexibility and collaboration front of mind, will bring all four of our currently separate teams together under one roof for the first time in the firm's history. In parallel, and having listened carefully to colleague feedback gathered through our most recent engagement survey as well as through a series of listening sessions held over the summer months, we will also be updating our hybrid working framework, with colleagues asked to be present in the office for a minimum of three days per week from January, an increase from the current expectation of two, in order to make the most of our wonderful new space and the opportunities for connection that it will provide. We want to reassure everyone that no roles are affected by this relocation and that there will be no redundancies as a consequence of these changes, although around forty colleagues currently based at our satellite office in Haymarket will see their contractual place of work change to the new building. Further details, including comprehensive relocation support, travel guidance and a full programme of familiarisation visits, will be shared in the weeks ahead, and we would encourage all colleagues to raise any questions with their line manager in the first instance. We are enormously excited about what this next chapter holds.
