FarrPoint’s strong start to 2025 continues, with exciting developments across the business. Over the last month, the consultancy 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.
Welcoming New Talent Across the Team
Jean-Donan Olliero 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 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, 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.
A New BCORP-worthy Home for a Growing Team
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.”
Looking Ahead
With new colleagues, a new headquarters, and exciting projects on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be another exceptional year at FarrPoint, who remain focused on delivering real impact through our work in digital connectivity and innovation.
