Annandale Design, one of the UK's leading manufacturers and installers of architectural metalwork, has successfully completed a contract worth almost £250,000 for the Scottish Mutual Headquarters in Glasgow.

The contract was to manufacture and install stainless steel balustrading and handrails throughout the building, however the company also designed, manufactured and installed these stunning stainless steel gates to the frontage of the building in Glasgow's St Vincent Street.

Annandale Design won the contract thanks to the team's ability to design, manufacture and install all specified products themselves. The gates are an especially successful part of the project, and were designed by Abbey Holford Rowe's Brian McArthur, one of the UK's most up and coming architects. Reminiscent of Charles Rennie Mackintosh motifs, they are made of polished stainless steel and perforated stainless steel panels. The result proves Annandale Design's ability to produce intricate and unusual designs in all types of metal, and the stunning effects that can be created using metal.

In addition to producing and installing the gates, Annandale Design carried out all the metalwork inside the building, including the stairs, which feature glass inserts. The glass panels were also custom designed by Brian McArthur, and have ceramic inlays.

Allan Frew, managing director of Annandale Design, said: "I'm really pleased with the variety of work involved in this contract. The gates are very visually appealing, and add a great deal of character - not just to the building, but to the street as a whole. They are also a very fitting feature for the city. The contract is a real coup for Annandale as it has a heavy design focus and we are delighted to have successfully completed it to the exemplary standards of the client."
