22 Dec 10 Maclay Murray & Spens (MMS) has awarded Clark Contracts a £1.3 million contract to fit out its new 40,000 sq ft Glasgow offices at the G1 building in the city's George Square.

Gordon Cunningham, managing director, Clark Contracts said, "We are especially pleased to be appointed to carry out this contract for such a prestigious client and for such a historical building.  Our specialist fit out team has a proven track record of successfully delivering large scale office fit out projects for both the public and private sectors."
