Best Payroll and Timekeeping Services in Carlisle

Armstrong Watson has moved its headquarters to a new purpose-built home. James Watson House, in Rosehill, Carlisle, pays homage to the firm’s 156-year heritage, having been named after the company’s founder, James Watson. It’s a major investment for the long-standing firm, which brings together more than 180 colleagues who were based at its three former offices in the city. In 2018, Armstrong Watson’s Rosehill office was closed to allow work to begin on the site, which formed the basis for the reconstruction to create the new head office. The 13,600 square foot building, in Montgomery Way, is easily accessed from the M6 motorway and there is ample parking for visitors. It offers two floors of open-plan offices, a host of 20 meeting rooms, conference facilities, a bistro and social space, spread over three floors. The office also has four electric car charging points and 89 solar panels on the roof which produce the majority of the power needed and will have a major effect on the firm’s net zero strategy.
