Glasgow-based Quality Equipment Distributors (QED) is a leading UK designer and supplier of modular bar, coffee shop and food service equipment, with a large selection of contemporary and classic module styles for catering and retail environments. The company was recently appointed to supply a new coffee shop display counter and back-bar system for the staff relaxation area at Glasgow City Chambers.
Situated in the heart of Glasgow, the City Chambers is one of the city’s most prestigious buildings. A grand and imposing edifice overlooking George Square, the property is an impressive symbol of Glasgow’s political strength and historical wealth. Completed in 1888, it has been the headquarters of successive councils serving the City of Glasgow for over a century
The coffee shop system was commissioned by Encore Hospitality Services, part of the Cordia Group, in partnership with Glasgow City Council. The client selected QED’s Italian-style Zen range, an ultra-contemporary design in contrast with the traditional surroundings of City Chambers.
The system comprises modular bars and counters in a mirrored finish, together with a drop-in refrigerated serve-over counter and matching back bar shelving and storage. The scheme was installed by QED’s own shopfitting team, and is already proving to be very popular with staff and visitors.
Ian Boardley at Encore Hospitality Services comments: “We have worked with QED on a number of projects in Glasgow. Its coffee shop systems are both stylish and practical, and its design and installation service is very professional.”
