SPA and swimming pool specialist Barr + Wray has bought Dubai-based design business EDP International.

EDP works primarily on spa interiors and has been active across the Middle East since 2005.

Glasgow based Barr + Wray, which has previously worked with EDP, said the move will allow it to offer a more integrated spa design and delivery offering.

Alister MacDonald, managing director, said: "In recent years, we have seen a growth in enquiries for spa interior design services from the Middle East region and this move is a demonstration of our commitment to meeting our customers' needs while growing the business."

EDP's three designers are transferring across as part of the deal.

Earlier this year Barr + Wray said its growth in the Middle East was a factor in profits rising to £1.3 million.
