After having recently completed the supply of electrical accessories to the prestigious Emirates Palace Hotel, Wandsworth Group is looking forward to further reinforce its presence in the region. The leading UK-based group has announced plans to extend its coverage of the Gulf states by appointing a representative to work in conjunction with its appointed agents, says a spokesman

At the Emirates Palace Hotel, the company was responsible for the supply of its sleek clip-on Series 3 range finished in polished brass and satin desert brass. Wandsworth, which has been designing and manufacturing hand-finished architectural wiring accessories for over 100 years, offers a fusion of classic and contemporary designs. In the Middle East, the company has been trading for over 40 years and is one of the first electrical manufacturers to export its range successfully to the area. Among some of the more recent projects are the Burj Al Arab, Metropolitan Hotels, Dubai Courts, the Al Maha Desert Resort and Etisalat Towers. Other projects include the Arraya Centre, Kuwait and the SAS Radisson Hotel, Muscat, apart from several royal palaces and luxury villas

Over the years, the company has built up a reputation for its commitment to quality and design and, above all, the reliability of all of its products.

The ranges include ultra-modern super mirror stainless steel, authentic, handcrafted antique finishes, and the striking textured stainless steel Profile range. All metal plates are made from solid brass, premium-grade stainless steel, or anodised aluminium, and are hand-finished to ensure the highest quality.
