Amy is a partner in our Commercial Real Estate team, based in Edinburgh. This month she celebrates her 15 year anniversary with us. In this short interview, she reflects on her career and her time at Morton Fraser MacRoberts so far.
In November, the UK government set out a strategy to commit to creating a smaller, better and greener public estate by 2030, which will include measures such as retrofitting public sector buildings to aid energy efficiency. As the country has entered a period of economic uncertainty, the public sector is scrutinising energy and the consequential financial outputs even further.
The sudden shift to working from home since early last year left many public sector office buildings empty – and it is looking increasingly unlikely that these once busy spaces will return to their former use where their functions can be carried out by staff from home either full time or some of the time.
