Over the last 12 months, North East based RDA, one of the UK's leading design and installation companies, has been shortlisted for a number of prestigious industry awards.
RDA was recently shortlisted in the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards 2017 for The Budgie Bar, London against internationally renowned agencies and this month is in the finals of the Northern Design Awards 2017 for The Counter Custom Burgers, Glasgow. In addition, it has also been shortlisted in this year’s Catering Insight Awards in both the Distributor of the Year Northern England and Digital Initiative categories.
The Budgie Bar, London – Bespoke copper lighting, granite-effect counters and luxurious seating options The Budgie Bar, London, exudes style and sophistication. Located within a law firm’s Canary Wharf offices, the recent project called upon RDA to maximise space and efficiency, while creating a relaxing space for daytime through to evening. The Counter Custom Burgers, Glasgow – RDA was selected by a premium Los Angeles, buildyour-own-burger restaurant, to design and fit-out its first UK site. RDA directors visited existing sites in the US before creating a bespoke, Californiainspired design for the new restaurant at The Quay, Glasgow.
Nick Bradley, Director at RDA, said: “To be through to the finals of the Northern Design Awards for this project is fantastic, especially against some tough northern competition.
“The RDA team were thrilled to have helped bring a US dining concept to The Counter Custom Burgers in Glasgow. To introduce some of the California sunshine to Glasgow, we included a wall-long façade featuring Santa Monica Beach, paying homage to the first opening for The Counter in Los Angeles. This sits alongside the Burger Love’ wall, which offers diners the perfect backdrop for selfies and social media snaps inspired by Los Angeles street art.”
RDA was founded in 2007 as a family business and has grown to a multi-million-pound turnover and 23 staff members, with a combined experience of over 120 years in the catering industry.
Since RDA’s formation, it has received in the region of 1,700 enquiries and completed over 350 project installations.
