Our Clients

Gary Cranson

Director, Astaura

Gary Cranson heads up Astaura’s commercial interior design team, bringing with him over 20 years of experience — and plenty of ideas. As a result, he’s focused on creating spaces that not only look great but genuinely work, whether that’s through clever layouts, smart acoustic solutions, or thoughtfully designed furniture.

Along the way, Gary has also built an impressive portfolio as an award-winning furniture designer. In fact, he’s worked with some major names, including Cadbury, BMW, John Deere, Selfridges and Nestlé, to name just a few.

From first sketches right through to final installation, Gary remains closely involved at every stage. This means each project runs smoothly and, ultimately, delivers a space that’s practical, on-brand, and built to perform.

"We now have a clean, modern workspace that is unrecognisable from the basic space that we previously occupied."

Mirion Technologies

"Gary was fantastic from start to finish on our project. We had a blank canvas basically and we gave him an idea of the sorts of things we were looking for but more or less said ‘make it unique and wonderful’ – and he did!"
