Aberdeen has 232,000 residents and a well-earned role as the hub of the UK's offshore energy industry. Engineers, contractors, executives from oil, gas, and now offshore wind and hydrogen. Academics from the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University. The city sees a constant stream of them. Meeting rooms here get used for routine project meetings between operators and their supply chain, for formal client presentations, for technical briefings. And the granite-built centre, nicknamed the Silver City for the way its stone catches the light, gives visiting business travellers something to actually remember. Good venues cluster around the same places as the wider office market. Prime Four Business Park and Aberdeen Business Park: popular with energy and engineering firms. Altens and Dyce: convenient for anyone flying in via Aberdeen International Airport. The new Energy Transition Zone at South Harbour, where a government-backed Innovation Campus and Skills Hub are taking shape, is fast becoming a location in its own right. The traditional city centre around Union Street works well too, close to hotels and restaurants for visitors staying overnight. Wi-Fi, a screen or projector, comfortable seating: standard in most rooms. Whiteboards, video-conferencing kit, catering, usually available as extras depending on the venue. A small room runs £15 to £40 an hour. A larger boardroom, £60 or more. Worth comparing a few before booking, especially if your schedule is tied to flights in and out of Dyce. Need more than a room for the day? Browse office space to rent in Aberdeen or look at a coworking desk for something ongoing.
