Over the last month, FarrPoint has welcomed three new team members and settled into a new head office in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh — milestones that reflect its ongoing growth and ambitions for the future.
With 24 core staff members and four offices internationally - in Scotland, England, the US and Canada, FarrPoint continues to lead in its specialism of connectivity, and continues to expand into new areas as technology and the markets develop.
(this will open in a new window)Jean-Donan Olliero (JD) has joined FarrPoint as a Principal Consultant and Head of the Telecoms practice. Jean-Donan originally worked at FarrPoint from 2015 to 2019 before moving on to a senior role with a French telecom operator Axione during their peak investment in Scotland. His return brings a wealth of consultancy experience and deep market knowledge that will strengthen FarrPoint’s influence in the telecoms sector.
FarrPoint is also pleased to welcome (this will open in a new window)Kate Milne as its new Economist. Kate brings strong expertise in economic modelling, impact assessments, and strategic partnerships from her previous work at Fraser of Allander Institute. Kate also volunteers at The Women in Economics Initiative, aimed at bridging the gender gap in the field of economics, and has already been contributing to FarrPoint’s ESG practices and speaking at Scotland’s first BCORP festival.
FarrPoint has also hired a new Project Assistant, (this will open in a new window)Christina Muir, who has moved for the role from the Scottish Highlands. With a background in research, copywriting and project management, Christina is now a big part of FarrPoint’s quality and project assurance.
As the FarrPoint team expanded, so has its need for space. Its move into a new headquarters at Lochrin Square in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, reflects not only the growth of the business but also its commitment to creating an environment that supports collaboration, wellbeing, and innovation. With FarrPoint’s BCORP certification and net-zero commitments, it was important that the new office is more environmentally friendly than the previous space.
“The move to our new office represents a milestone in FarrPoint’s journey,” said Andrew Muir. “As our client base and staff numbers grow, It’s a space that’s not only better suited to our current team but also supports our ambitions for further growth in the years ahead.”
