The company has moved from a previous base in Queens Road in Aberdeen’s west end and is set to grow operations at the new office.
ARO has maintained a presence in Aberdeen since 2012 and now employs 17 people in the city with plans to grow the team to support its expanding operations and recent contract wins.

Dan Mitchell, Management Surveyor at Knight Property Group, added: “Kingshill Park has consistently been in high demand, and we are delighted to have concluded this deal with ARO, which now sees Pavilion 11 fully let.
