The creation of the new hub has been managed by HMRC as part of the department’s wider estates and transformation work across the UK.

Spread across 12 floors, the building will house 4,000 HMRC staff and is one of 14 new UK government hubs across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. It is the eleventh new regional centre to be formally opened as part of HMRC’s estates programme.

Named after Bishop William Morgan who translated the Bible into Welsh in the 16thCentury, Tŷ William Morgan is home to more than 4,500 civil servants. This includes more than 4,000 full-time equivalent HMRC employees, as well as around 500 staff from across 12 other government departments.

The keys for the 25,000sqm building were formally handed over in January 2020, with the building first opening its doors to civil servants in February 2021. It is part of large central development within a few minutes’ walk of Cardiff Central train station.
