TransCanada Turbines (TCT) has established its new UK headquarters at Clyde Gateway.

The North American engineering firm has signed a pre-let with Glasgow-based developers Harris Finance for a 10-year lease on a 13,000 sq ft industrial unit at Rutherglen Links Business Park.

The facility will become home to TCT's 15-strong Scottish workforce, as well as containing the company's largest specialised training centre outside of Canada.

The company will now relocate from its existing shared premises in Cumbernauld, with the move scheduled to be complete by early March.

Gordon Hope of TransCanada Turbines said: "When we decided to vacate our shared premises in Cumbernauld, we carried out an extensive search of what was available on the market. As the unit at Rutherglen Links was still under construction, we were able to make the adjustments to the specification that we needed. Clyde Gateway being able to provide business support made moving to this new facility possible."

Ian Manson, Chief Executive of Clyde Gateway, said: "The move by TransCanada Turbines into Rutherglen Links, and in particular their investment in the new training centre, is another very welcome vote of confidence for Clyde Gateway."
