AIR WE O!A RAFT of new contracts worth more than

4.5million at Glasgow International Airport have

been won by Pacific.

The projects are part of a significant investment at

Glasgow in advance of next years CommonwealthGames and they will see our teams working flat-out

through to the end of the year and beyond.

This boost is further proof that Pacific are the team to

beat at airports, particularly at Glasgow and Edinburgh,

where we have permanent presences and staff who have

the requisite skills to operate effectively and safely.

In February, Glasgow Airport announced details of a

multi-million pound makeover programme.

Almost 10million of investment has been broughtforward to be spent during 2013 in addition to

7million already committed on refurbishing and

enhancing key parts of the main terminal building,

including international arrivals

BUSINESS is hotting for Pacific as the cold days

of winter beckon and the warm days of summer

melt away in the memory.

And we will all have to be at our best to capiltalise on

the raft of significant projects that are stretching out

before us.

From November, our busiest period

on record will unfold running

through to March next year as we

commence several major projects that

we have secured at Glasgow Airport, as

we deliver the winter programme for

McDonalds side-by-sides and as we

upgrade Mitchells & Butlers units right

across Scotlands central belt.

Glasgow International Airport is

undergoing a major transformation in advance of both

the Commonwealth Games and the Ryder Cup.

Both events are expected to see a huge increase in the

number of arriving and departing passengers, all of

whom will be treated to the gleaming new concepts which

will be undertaken by Pacific.

Projects include a fully upgraded and extendedinternational arrivals area, a significantly extended and

fully refitted tax and duty-free area, an upgraded check-in

area and fully refitted and extended washroom facilities

across the entire airport.

Meanwhile, McDonalds are seeing excellent returns

on the new side-by-side concept on their

drive-thru estate, and we have 14 of them

planned to be completed between now and

the end of March. We are also beginning to

see their plans for upgrade work to takeplace in the new year.

Mitchells & Butlers have 10 projects with our

name on it that are planned to be

undertaken during the winter months across

their various brands.

We will also be working in the St Enoch Centre,

undertaking upgrade works to the HMV store

All of this is great news, particularly following a quiet

summer. So, the pressure is on each and every one of us

to make sure that delivery, quality, safety and customer

service are at their peak and we perform at the highest

level in order that we can look back with an incredibleamount of pride in our achievements.

CONTRACT surveyor Greg Burns

married Katy at Glenskirlie House

and Castle in Stirlingshire on July

27.

A total of 140 guests turned up

to share the new couples big day

and to wish them well.

Greg and Katy then had a

dream honeymoon in the United

States, comprising 10 days in Las

Vegas and four days in San

Francisco. Greg, who joined Pacific

Building at the beginning of this

year, needed all the cash he could

get for the Vegas leg of his trip, so

he was grateful for the generous

wedding gift of spending money

given by his colleagues.

He said: Katy and I had an

unforgettable experience and we

thank everyone for their incredible

kindness.
