Signature Aviation New State-of-the-Art Private Aviation Terminal in Glasgow
As one of the world's pre-eminent hospitality companies, Signature Aviation deliver exceptional experiences and essential support to business and private aviation customers.
They operate an industry-leading network of private aviation terminals, with over 200 locations covering key destinations in 27 countries across five continents and is the largest distributor of sustainable aviation fuel in business aviation. They now have a new FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at Glasgow Airport in Scotland.
Signature Aviation have had a presence at Glasgow Airport since the early 1990's and they needed a significant upgrade to cope with their increasing customer numbers. As the existing building no longer met the required quality the decision was taken to demolish it and to build a new facility, on the same site, that was more aligned with Signature Aviation's luxury hospitality aesthetic.
Designing Within Budget
Amos Beech was engaged from the start, planning the overall footprint around the specific needs of the business. Early indications around cost meant the initial proposed area needed to be reduced to bring it within the capital spend that was available. What this meant for the client was that the space was optimised from the start, ensuring that the final product met the expectations of the business. The new facility provides 433 sq m of total space (nearly 5,000 sq ft).
Whilst the foundations and envelope were being constructed, the Amos Beech design team worked with the client to design an interior that reflected the Signature Aviation Brand and acknowledged Glasgow as a gateway to one of the most culturally rich and historic cities in Scotland, and greater Europe.
Leading the Project
Amos Beech led the entire project, acting as principal designer and principal contractor for the client. Working with the full range of professional Consultancy services, we carried out a complete range of site investigations which influenced the design and specific rules around working on a live airport were all taken into consideration.
Working with Signature Aviation, the Preconstruction team awarded works packages for the groundworks to Bottom Groundworks and the building envelope to Modulek following competitive tender bids and evaluation. All works were co-ordinated and managed by the Amos Beech project management team and the Project and Site Manager, Rebecca Howie, was rarely seen in the office for 12 months!
The Result
From the grand double height entrance with contemporary pendant lights and bespoke concierge desks, through the Business Lounge to the VIP Suite with professional pilot amenities, a private conference room, and a dedicated screening room, the whole space now gives a reassuring sense of being in safe hands. The result is a frictionless experience for crew and passengers, people who value time over everything else.
Signature Aviation don’t just facilitate it; they elevate it!

A flexible training space for UK Debt Expert
Following the refurbishment of Carrington Dean’s upstairs offices, we returned to the building to create a dedicated training environment for UK Debt Expert. The brief was to carry a consistent Credit fix Group identity throughout the building while giving UK Debt Expert a space with its own distinct purpose and character.
Designed to help new team members become familiar with the brand, culture and ways of working, the finished space supports induction, e-learning and collaborative training. Also for this floor, there was chosen for an angled desk layout. Flexible tables, dedicated workstations, and mobile presentation facilities allow the layout to adapt to different learning formats, while a tiered breakout area provides a more informal setting for presentations and group discussions.
The design builds on the visual language established in the Carrington Dean office upstairs. Both spaces draw from the wider brand palette, but colour was used intentionally to distinguish their different functions. While the Carrington Dean office combines blue, green and purple, the UK Debt Expert training suite replaces purple with yellow to promote optimism, creativity, and mental stimulation, making it particularly valuable in spaces where innovative thinking and collaborative ideation are priorities.
Green was retained as a balanced, calming influence. Its connection to nature can help reduce anxiety and visual fatigue, making it particularly suited to an environment where employees may spend extended periods learning and working. Blue also continues through the scheme as a productivity-enhancing colour, helping to create a calm atmosphere that supports concentration, clear communication and efficient working.
These colours are expressed through the flooring, furniture, and bespoke wall graphics with cleverly integrated acoustics. Open shelving with integrated storage and planting creates subtle separation between activities without compromising light or visibility, while natural timber finishes bring warmth to the space.
The result is a welcoming, multipurpose learning environment that feels connected to the wider Creditfix workplace while remaining clearly tailored to UK Debt Expert. It gives new employees an engaging place to learn, collaborate and build confidence as they settle into their roles.

A new training centre in Edinburgh for Chinese Christians
CITC – Christian International Theological College, approached Amos Beech after securing two empty retail units in Leith, Edinburgh. They wanted to create a multi-purpose environment between the two spaces – one for learning, comprising of a training centre, meeting space and staff welfare; the second unit was to house a tea corner serving hot drinks, a library and an office.
The training area design was based around utilising flexible furniture. Mobile, folding tables and high-density stacking chairs were proposed to get the most out of this space.
As the concept developed the meeting space became more informal with floor cushions and a window seat. This space would be used for children to gather and learn.
Graphics played an important part of this design, and the client had ideas to display original calligraphy, a timeline of the brand and signage in both English and Chinese. The palette was very calming and focused on the teal branding colours along with oak timber to add warmth. A backlit stained-glass design was created by the client’s own artist. This became a feature at the front of the training room.
The tea corner and library have an exposed ceiling with acoustic rafts to absorb any noise. Feature lighting and replica plants enhance the aesthetic in this space. The end result is a warm and welcoming space which is ideally suited to the client’s requirements.
