Accountancy giant KPMG is extending its occupancy at Princes Dock in Liverpool Waters by another five years. Tony McDonough reports

KPMG has signed up for another five years at Princes Dock in Liverpool Waters.

Currently occupying 6,000 sq ft, the accountancy giant has been based at the waterfront location since 1997. It has also invested in a new fit-out of its office accommodation to meet its net zero targets.

KPMG’s new refit includes new spaces for collaboration to support hybrid working, client facilities and a refreshed interior to complement the office’s views of the River Mersey.

From 2023 the commercial buildings at Princes Dock will also be connected to Liverpool Water’s District Heat Network. This will provide low carbon, cost effective heat and power.
