akp is to deliver a new office space within the Garment Factory in Glasgow.
AutoRek appointed the contractor to construct its 8,385 sq ft space.
The Garment Factory is one of Glasgow's most notable buildings, providing 47,382 sq ft of high quality retail and design-focused office space over seven floors.
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.
"AutoRek have engaged Award Winning Architects & Interiors practice Graven, whom akp have good relationship with, having worked together to deliver the BCO Award Winning Fit Out for RoS in 2017."
Fiona Millar, Head of Business Support at AutoRek added: "AutoRek are excited to be moving our Head Office to the Garment Factory, an iconic building in Glasgow. The move has massive significance for us as a business and the priority has been creating a space that reflects our business, our company culture and our people.
"We had to ensure that we had the right team in place that understands these aspects of our project and we are very much looking forward to working with akp and Graven to deliver our ambitious fit out. We are excited by the plans for our new office and are looking forward to seeing it all come together over the next few weeks."
Most recently akp completed the Fit Out for Glasgow-based digital technology outfit Incremental Group on the 5th Floor of The Garment Factory, the building proving to be a popular choice for business seeking a contemporary and central base in the City.
akp was recognised this year by The British Council for Offices (BCO), as part of the winning team whom delivered the BEST FIT OUT OF WORKPLACE project for their Registers of Scotland (RoS) Fit Out within St Vincent Plaza, Glasgow.
