Energy firm aims to house growing staff under one roof

GDF Suez Exploration and Production (E&P) UK plans to move to new headquarters in Aberdeen amid continued growth at the French-owned energy company.

Property developer Miller Cromdale said yesterday it had lodged a planning application for the new site in North Esplanade West.

GDF is poised to sign a 15-year lease for the 40,000 square-foot office building, which is expected to house about 150 employees and contractors by 2014 – when the firm moves in – and up to 200 longer-term.

Currently, GDF employs 120 people across three sites in Aberdeen.
