Engineer-powered cyber security service provider Acumen Cyber has taken more than 6,800 sq ft at the EastWorks development in Dalmarnock.
EastWorks is a former Victorian era gas purifier shed built in 1843, which was repurposed and regenerated in 2023 by Clyde Gateway.
Martin McKay, chief executive of Clyde Gateway, said: “The Scottish digital technology sector is one of the fastest growing in Scotland and I’m particularly pleased to see Acumen Cyber join a growing innovation cluster in Dalmarnock, as the location and EastWorks provide a real platform for growth. This new space will give the business the room to grow, reach its potential, and bring more highly skilled jobs to the East End of Glasgow.
“Clyde Gateway’s mission is to make the area the best place to live, work and play and EastWorks is a great example of this. Here, we have been able to preserve the industrial heritage of the past whilst creating a space for innovation and having Acumen Cyber and Utopi here is evidence that our strategy is delivering.
Mark Robertson, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Acumen Cyber, added: “Moving to EastWorks represents a significant step in Acumen Cyber’s growth journey as we look to increase turnover and the size of our team. This modern space will be the new centre for our business and will help our team of talented cyber security engineers to protect our clients across the world from the rapidly evolving threat landscape.
“With such an attractive space and great transport connectivity, we are confident that establishing a presence at EastWorks helps to support a fantastic working environment for our existing team and will make it easier to recruit talented people as part of our ambitious growth plans.”
