THE COMPANY
Beginning his career as a Professional Modelmaker in 1977 Brian Gallagher founded B. G. Models Ltd in 1991, originally based in the Templeton Business Centre, Glasgow. Over the years the Company has built a reputation for outstanding quality and creativity, specialising in the construction of high specification Architectural models.
In 2001 the Company relocated to a new Studio in the historical country town of Biggar, South Lanarkshire.
The Company has continued to perfect the production of hand crafted models and has consolidated its position as a centre of excellence.

NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company is a multi disciplinary modelmaking Company specialising in the construction of very high specification hand crafted models. All aspects of commercial modelmaking are undertaken along with private commissions. The company has specialized in the construction of high specification architectural models.
The Company caters for the architectural, property development, museum, exhibition and industrial sectors throughout Scotland and beyond.
A diversification has been the design and construction of contemporary furniture.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
The Company’s aim is to achieve complete customer satisfaction and to go beyond expectation, allowing customers to get on with their business without worrying about the model. Drawing inspiration from the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is the long-term aim of the Company to create unique hand crafted models in an age of technological sameness and mediocrity, promoting our clients projects by the skill and quality of our finished hand crafted products.

FACILITIES
The Company is based in a purpose designed detached Studio set within private gardens at the heart of the historic country town of Biggar nestling in the foot hills of the Scottish Borders.
The Studio comprises of two main work areas fully equipped with a full suite of machine and hand tools, separate custom built spray shop, office and toilet facilities.
The workshop is fully accessible to the disabled and is currently being upgraded to meet the latest disability access laws.
The private gardens offer a quiet outdoor meeting and viewing space. Alternatively meetings can be held at one of the excellent hotels/pubs while enjoying lunch.

THE FUTURE
The move to Biggar has been a huge success and bodes well for the future. The Company has forged a close working relationship with Edinburgh based Coevolution, a dynamic, computer visualisation company, run by Adam Brewster and Helen Jackson, the two companies working together on an exciting exhibition project for the Velux Company Ltd. B. G. Models Ltd will promote this partnership of computer modelling with traditional physical models.
