Danwood expects to double business in the next three years and increase its headcount in Scotland by up to 50 by 2012, across the country including Edinburgh, East Kilbride, Inverness and Aberdeen. 
 
“Danwood’s decision to open its new headquarters in Livingston secures more than 100 jobs in West Lothian and is a welcome investment to the local economy," said Salmond. “This impressive new development demonstrates Danwood’s confidence in the Scottish economy and the area’s highly­ skilled workforce. 

Commenting on the new premises, MD of Danwood Scotland, Dan Cameron said: “We see this location as the key to our future business growth.  With many of our competitors centralising their businesses in the South, Danwood Scotland has chosen to remain close to its Scottish customer base. 

Our growth will be based on achieving our two key objectives: firstly improving our customers’ bottom line and secondly, helping them address the environmental challenges of their businesses head on. This can be best achieved by having the skill-set and resource based in Scotland.”
 
Despite current economic conditions, Danwood is bucking the the office equipment industry trend with turnover up 125% on 2008 figures. Dan Cameron expects future growth to be achieved through product independence and across all markets – private and public sector.
 
Danwood Scotland’s operation includes a large equipment demonstration suite, call centre, sales and administration support and a distribution centre which includes service, delivery, storage and recycling facilities – all supporting a team of dedicated account managers.
