Robertson Tayside recently joined Prime Minister Gordon Brown and client Evans Easyspace to perform the topping-out ceremony at the new £3.5m Evans Business Centre in Mr Brown's home town of Kirkcaldy.

Located in the town's John Smith Business Park, the office development is part of a long-term strategy by Fife Council to support local economic development.

When complete it will provide 55 serviced offices, ranging from 160 to 560 sq ft, in a building designed and built to the highest environmental standards.

The PM described the business centre as an excellent example of the public and private sectors working in partnership to develop a facility that will provide the local business community with the support it needs to develop and prosper.
