Success in the CapitalGrowing in Scotland
2015 was a busy year for akp as we continued to win projects in the East of Scotland.
Due to our experience in office fit outs and refurbishments we were contracted to carry out a number of high quality office projects with diverse specifications in Edinburgh city centre which were completed on time and to the client’s satisfaction.
This success is driving us to develop this further and our vision for 2016 is to increase our workload in the East as we continue to expand throughout Scotland.
We are delighted to have been recertified for our Quality Management System ISO9001 and ISO14001.
We are also pleased to announce that we have now carried out 124,844 man hours without any days lost due to injury. Safety is our first priority.
