FIS held its annual Scottish Awards Lunch last month at the Trades Hall of Glasgow where award winners were presented before a sell-out audience.

It was Linear Projects that received the Partial Fit Out Gold for its project with the Macallan Distillery and Visitor Centre in Craigellachie. Brian Hendry Interiors picked up Silver for its work at Holy Trinity Primary School in Glasgow.

Highly Commended in this category went to Worksmart Contracts for a complete summer refurbishment at Ayrshire College, Ayr Campus.
