After a six and a half weeks working for Epernay at Manchester Airport, Andy Thornton have successfully completed a £300,000 fit-out of a half hexagon shaped bar with views over the concourse. Local reclaimed bricks and a pale granite worktop were used for the bar. An eleven metre long oak drinks shelf extends the length of the glass wall, allowing customer to watch planes taxiing the airport. Andy Thornton also worked for Epernay in Manchester and Leeds city centres.
 
Two of Andy Thornton's employees were recognised for their contribution towards the £220m renovation of the Savoy Hotel, London during the official reopening presented by HRH Prince of Wales. Andy Thornton's architectural metalwork department supplied the Savoy's Thames foyer with a seven and a half metre stained glass and metalwork dome, designs for which were copied from the hotel archives. They also made an impressive five metre diameter and four metre high decorative gazebo, designed by interior designer, Pierre-Yves Rochon. The gazebo sits perfectly under the domed glass roof in the centre of the room, and houses a grand piano.
