"

The Verint (formerly Graham Technology and Sword Ciboodle) premises of today emerged from the famous former India Tyres factory. This art deco building, constructed several years after Beardmore’s factory airfield closed and considered the most important of its particular design in Scotland, was provided with extensions to resemble an airship gondola and aircraft wing to acknowledge past historical events.
