akp were awarded the contract by Spire Global, who offer satellite based maritime and weather tracking around the world. In 2017 akp completed the fit out of Suite 5a in Skypark 5 for Spire.
Their growth has now involved the relocation to a new unit in Skypark, which is able to house their manufacturing and office requirements in one space. The project entailed the CAT B fit out of Unit 64 which has a recent CAT A refurbishment.
The works included:
Full M&E services upgrade
Installation & integration of a new Clean Room
Partitions
Acoustic walls & ceilings
Manufactured joinery
Decoration & floor finishes
Features such as acoustic sliding whiteboard screens, allowing both collaboration and privacy, and enclosed 2-4 person pods for VC calls and focused work can be seen in the innovative design by Form Design Consultants. As well as glazed slots within the arrival areas which offer glimpses into the satellite manufacturing laboratory, giving visitors a hint of the production side.

I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.
I would like to thank Martin McColl, Mark Smith and the team at akp for delivering the refurbishment at New Aspect House. Blantyre.
Started and completed during a global pandemic, its a project none of us will forget and it was not without it challenges.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
