Tarmac might be a company better known for hard hats and hob–nailed boots, but its management systems are as sophisticated as any city business.  To accompany the introduction of some of these new systems Tarmac required a culture change and a form of office space which encouraged flexibility of movement and flexibility of thinking.  The new offices which haa designed in a business unit in Bellshill are not only bright but unusual, with touch-down spaces and stand–up tables.  Management staff who move between sites  and different offices have ‘hot offices’ but sales and booking staff who work from the building have permanent desks, albeit open plan.
