MCS chief executive Ian Rippin hailed the move as a positive step for the company. “Our investment in a purpose-built, high-specification workplace at Violet – in the heart of a buzzing technical campus – will continue to reflect our values of collaboration and help to foster even more talent within MCS well into the future,” he said in a statement.
