Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) is to take-up new office space in the centre of Edinburgh as part of ambitious plans to scale-up operations in Scotland.

LSH will move from its current George Street base in the Capital, to a 1,700 sq ft office suite at 33 Castle Street, towards the end of May.

The announcement comes just weeks after the firm relocated its Glasgow HQ from West George Street to larger offices in Bothwell Street.

LSH’s Head of Operations in Scotland, Craig Maguire, believes the office relocations are a major milestone in the firm’s expansion plans: “This is another step in the right direction for LSH as we continue to strategically grow and expand our business operations in Scotland.

“By investing in superb new premises in two key cities, we are able to offer outstanding services in both locations as well as serving the rest of Scotland, while providing our staff and clients with a significant sign of our intent.”

Ian Davidson, Head of LSH's Edinburgh Office, said: “The Castle Street office can accommodate upwards of 20 staff and will provide a platform from which to expand the LSH operation in the East of Scotland.  We are in discussions with several parties at present with a view to making a number of key appointments in the coming months’
