Corporate Archives - Marshall Brown

Marshall Brown has been presented with a 10 Years Recognition Award by Aluprof UK, marking a decade as one of Aluprof’s longest-serving customers in the UK.

Andrew Buglass, Account Specification Manager at Aluprof UK, presented the award to Derrick McKenna and Brian Ross, thanking the whole team for their business and their loyalty to the Aluprof brand.

Over the past ten years, Aluprof systems have featured on many of our projects across Scotland, from university buildings and hotels to student accommodation. These include the National Robotarium at Heriot-Watt University, the Laidlaw Music Centre at the University of St Andrews, the Great Tapestry of Scotland in Galashiels and Unite Students’ Abbey Lane in Edinburgh.

We’d like to thank Aluprof UK for their continued support. Here’s to the next ten years.

Working closely with Morgan Lovell, Barr Gazetas Architectural & Planning and Real Estate consultants Hollis, we were able to deliver the refurbishment of the full façade for this 1950’s Cat-A office building in the heart of Westminster, London.

Developing the design with the client and key stakeholders over several months, we have helped to create a vibrant urban office space with fantastic views over the River Thames and South Bank. The original façade as pictured below has now been modernized and the combination of the stylish Schuco curtain walling system with the Butech by Porcelanosa Porcelain Rainscreen System, help to increase the natural light into the building, enhancing the environment for the occupants internally, and provide the sweeping contours of cream stone effect to compliment the black granite building next door, on the exterior.

Carrying out the work on such a restricted location and ensuring the minimum of disruption to the retail clients on the ground floor was a real Challange, but as our Contracts Manager Gordon Cuthbert commented, “these difficulties just make the completion of such a project so much more rewarding”. The project was completed at the end of 2019.
