£10m contract
April 2018

Cumbernauld-based CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS has landed a contract worth over £10m for the Atlantic Square development in Glasgow, giving the company a record order book valued at £65m over the next three years.

Chief operating officer David Ritchie said: “Winning this contract provides vital job security for our 250 employees who work in both manufacturing and on-site installation roles, and it creates a strong platform for us to invest in the future of the business. Recent economic surveys have painted a relatively negative picture for Scotland’s manufacturing and construction sectors, so it is fantastic to be bucking the trend with a healthy outlook.”

The £100m Atlantic Square development is being built by BAM Construction. CMS will design, manufacture and install a range of aluminium windows, doors and façade elements for the mixed-use development, which will provide high quality office space on York Street capable of accommodating more than 2,700 staff, 187,000sqft of space has already been pre-let by the developers BAM TCP Atlantic Square with the remaining 97,000 sq. ft. being developed as speculative Grade A office space.

David Ritchie continued: “The scale of the window, door, curtain walling and façade brief represents our largest ever single contract, but it is exactly the kind of project that our business is equipped to handle given the design expertise, product range and manufacturing and installation capabilities that our business has today. We’ve evolved rapidly since our inception in 2006 and are now in a position where a large proportion of our contracts are in the £5m+ bracket – not only in Scotland but across the UK.”
