ISO 27001 question

I have a client who has a single site out of a large multinational who wishes the site certified to ISO 27001. Can you offer any advise, esp WRT to determining the scope of the project?

I'm assuming that by WRT you mean "with respect to".

Considering that, for organizations up to 50 employees, the best approach is to include all the organization in the ISMS scope, since that for organizations up to 50 employees the effort to keep a separated scope is not worthy.

For organizations with more than 50 employees, you should consider limiting the scope to the processes and departments related to the information the organization wants to protect. 

These articles will provide you a further explanation about scope definition:
