Witan Gate House, one of Milton Keynes' landmark buildings, has been the subject of a lease transfer, arranged through commercial property specialists Douglas Duff, whereby the head lease of the entire building has been assigned to engineers Stone & Webster Ltd (now Shaw Energy and Chemicals Ltd) from BP (International) Ltd. Both companies will continue to occupy their existing offices there.

"With Witan Gate House extending to some 143,000 sq ft, this represents the largest office transaction in Milton Keynes for over 10 years" commented Robert Shacklock of Douglas Duff. "It also confirms the commitment of Shaw Energy and Chemicals Ltd to Milton Keynes."
