HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) Regional Centre and Government Hub in India Buildings was formally opened by Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC Director General for Customer Services on 24 May 2022.
The award-winning Grade II* listed building, which is home to around 5,000 HMRC employees, has been restored to provide a modern and inclusive working environment.
The building has been %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_0%% since August 2021, but the official opening has been delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Director General for Customer Services, said:
"I am pleased to declare HMRC's Liverpool Regional Centre open.
"It is the only regional centre within a heritage building and is the result of a four-year programme of restoration and refurbishment which has resulted in a stunning workplace that honours the past but is fit for the future.
"India Buildings is a welcoming, light-filled space which enables collaborative working for all of our employees in the heart of wonderfully vibrant Liverpool %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_1%% centre."
Lady Massie, the wife of the late Liverpudlian disability rights campaigner Sir Bert Massie, who has a meeting room named after him in %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_2%% Buildings, attended the opening ceremony.
Liverpool Regional Centre is part of a transformation programme that will deliver modern, inclusive, flexible environments with improved technology, enabling %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_3%% to become one of the most digitally advanced tax authorities in the world.
