Highland Hub offers best of both worlds for staff and customers

By Rod Christie, a partner with Galbraith and head of estate agency for Inverness and Moray.

This year the Moray and Inverness teams joined forces in a larger Highland hub office as the firm continues to grow.

The new office at Fairways Business Park in Inverness provides a modern environment with better facilities for staff and enables us to continue to expand the range of services we offer to clients, from rural business and estate management to residential, estate, and farm sales and lettings, renewable energy, utilities, building surveying, forestry and woodland, natural capital, carbon audits and commercial property.

During the pandemic the adaptability and commitment of our staff was a huge asset, and it became clear that technology would allow us to transition seamlessly from a full time officebased working environment to a hybrid version, mixing working from home with time in the office interacting with colleagues.

This coincided with the ongoing change in customer behaviour to online above all else -- estate agency offices are far less used by members of the public in recent years as the ease of propertyhunting online makes it unnecessary to have a physical office in the same number of locations.

The new office offers a highquality, collaborative working environment, with electric vehicle charging points, car parking and good access to the road network. The site is also easily accessible to train and bus services.

As a firm we have adopted a range of measures to reduce our carbon footprint including offering facilities for recycling in our offices and supporting active travel options. In addition, a new fleet of electric vehicles are now replacing the previous Galbraithbranded Minis.

We are delighted to be up and running in our new Highland Hub and look forward to a busy summer! n
