Signature Aviation New State-of-the-Art Private Aviation Terminal in Glasgow
Signature Aviation, the world’s largest network of private aviation terminals, has a brand new terminal at Glasgow Airport (GLA) in Scotland. Signature Aviation is the world’s preeminent aviation hospitality company, offering exceptional experiences and essential support services to business and private aviation guests. The company’s large-scale infrastructure footprint enables travel, fosters human connection and is a critical global economic driver. Signature operates 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 (SAF) in business aviation.
The new cutting-edge facility in Glasgow, is showcasing the enhanced guest experience and spotlighting the terminal’s expansive, thoughtfully designed amenities.
Signature Aviation have had an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at Glasgow Airport since the early 1990's and with a growing customer base they needed a significant upgrade. The decision was taken to demolish the existing temporary building structure as it was no longer fit for purpose and decided to redevelop on the same site, a brand-new building that was more in keeping with Signature Aviation's corporate look & feel.
Designing Within Budget
Amos Beech were engaged from the strategy stage, designing the footprint around the specific needs of the business. Early indications around cost to deliver, mean the footprint had to be reduced to bring it within the capital spend that was available. What this meant for the client was instead of making compromises on the finished look of the building, the space was optimised from the start, ensuring that the final product met the expectations of the business.
The new Signature GLA terminal was designed to enhance the guest experience as a gateway to one of the most culturally rich and historic cities in Scotland and greater Europe. The new facility provides 433 square meters of total space (nearly 5,000 square feet), highlighted by several new amenities for world travellers, including an expansive new lounge space, a large meeting room for business use, a VIP lounge, showers, and a dedicated screening room.
Whilst the foundations and envelope were being constructed, the Amos Beech design team were in full flow, working with the client to design an interior that reflected the Signature Aviation brand and met the needs of their clientèle and staff. The brief was to design an interior with a homage to Glasgow and its heritage whilst retaining the overarching Signature Aviation corporate brand and the end result speaks for itself.
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 services, we carried out a full 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 envelope to Modulek following competitive tender bids and evaluation. All works were co-ordinated and managed by the Amos Beech project management team, and Rebecca Howie was rarely seen in the office for 12 months!
The Result
From the grand entrance and bespoke concierge desks, through the Business Lounge and VIP Suite, the whole space now gives a sense of calm and purpose, resulting in a frictionless experience for people who value time over everything else.

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.
