With the growing number of major projects in Edinburgh the first Hulley & Kirkwood regional office was opened in 1986 giving a local presence in the Scottish capital. Notable projects completed during the 1980s included St John's Hospital in Livingston, IBM Spango Valley manufacturing and office facilities in Greenock, the Sauchiehall Street shopping centre and the Scottish Event & Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow. In 1991, the firm was incorporated and registered as a limited company.
