One ‘unusually large’ contract has helped Cube Glass to add over £1million to its turnover, taking it to a record £4.5million in the year to October 2023.
The Cumbernauld-based aluminium and specialist fabricator says the contract was for screens for flats and retail units on a massive community benefit programme led by one of Scotland’s foremost social housing developers.
Founder and Managing Director Gary Thornsaid: “Last year was probably the most exceptional year for Cube Glass since the company was established 20 years ago, driven by new levels in contract size.
“But, while our main competitors concentrate almost exclusively on commercial deals, we also have a strong pipeline of residential work and we are building strong relationships with smaller, high-end architectural practices which specialise in this field.
“In domestic work, there is a significant move towards slimmer sightlines and doors with bigger panels and more glass – a trend which is being led by the international partners with whom we now regularly interact.”
He said the company was now sitting in a comfortable niche in which it had demonstrated the capacity to take on large contracts but also maintained the ability to undertake smaller and more challenging projects.
Cube Glass, which was established in 2004, focuses on curtain walling, doors, windows, glass roofing systems and shop fronts as well as bullet, bomb and blast resistant glass. It supplies sectors including education, health, industrial, social care, commercial property and residential homes.
