AutoRek appointed the contractor to construct its 8,385 sq ft space.

The new space within The Garment Factory will allow AutoRek to double the size of their presence in Glasgow, representing a significant expansion for the firm.

Ian McEwan, Joint Managing Director of akp said: "This is a great project win for akp, we were able to offer AutoRek the benefit of our experience and knowledge of The Garment Factory building, having recently completed another fit out this year on the 5th Floor.
