| Space Solutions enjoys six months of growth and looks to expand |
|
Scottish architecture and space planning business Space Solutions has seen its turnover rocket by 60% to £4.5 million in the first half of 2006 and capped a successful six months by expanding into Glasgow. Space Solutions already has successful operations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh and the company has now bolstered its central belt presence by recruiting a team and opening its first permanent office in Glasgow. Plans are already in the pipeline to open a further office in Dundee. The half-year results also highlight a significant investment in people, with headcount across Space Solutions’ network of Scottish offices increasing from 60 in 2005 to 85 this year. The company has also announced the appointment of a new director, Mark Wilson, who heads up the 10-strong contracting division based in Aberdeen. Space Solutions offer the answers to issues associated with commercial space – providing services including architecture, space planning and interior design, refurbishment and fit-out, furniture storage, logistics and installation, commercial move management and relocation, and even crate hire. The company’s impressive growth has been centred upon its development of a high-quality client list, which includes the BG Group, Maersk Oil, Apache North Sea Limited, Wood Group, Global Resources and a number of organisations operating from Aberdeen’s landmark Exchange building, including UKOOA, Petrofac and ITI Energy. More widely, its portfolio also encompasses BSkyB, Bank of New York, Vodafone and the Scottish Executive. Space Solutions Managing Director Steve Judge said: “The six months to June 2006 have seen continued turnover growth and we have a series of exciting new projects looming that we hope will sustain and enhance that growth. “We have developed the company without having to acquire other businesses, which is tremendously encouraging and demonstrates we are offering a service that isn’t being met via traditional suppliers. “Our growth has been organic and our expansion into Glasgow illustrates that we are serious about our ambitions to become a recognised and respected player across the whole of Scotland. “Mark’s appointment as a director further underpins our ability to offer a comprehensive in-house service and we are looking to extend our contracting offering to clients across all our offices.” |
