DC Thomson to refurbish Dundee HQ

Publishing company DC Thomson has appointed Muirfield Contracts for the refurbishment of its Dundee headquarters.

Muirfield Contracts has been awarded the contract to refurbish Courier Buildings in Meadowside, Dundee.

The project, which includes a complete internal renovation and new roofing, is expected to take around 15 months to complete.

DC Thomson will ensure that the building is more energy efficient by improving the insulation, introducing a rainwater harvesting system and installing photovoltaic panels on the roof.

Barry Strain, Group Head of Estates for DC Thomson, said, “We’re pleased to select Muirfield Contracts Ltd. They are also a Dundee-based company and will use locally-based subcontractors for the work undertaken at our Meadowside site.

“We look forward to working with Muirfield and are delighted that we’ve found the quality in a local company.”

Muirfield Contracts Ltd started work on w/c Monday 8th April 2013 and DC Thomson staff members are expected to return to the Meadowside offices in late 2014.
