Today we look back on the projects akp Scotland Ltd have delivered in the Commercial Sector where office fit outs of yesteryear have come a long way with the emphasis now on promoting an inclusive and engaging workplace culture where there is the move towards a hybrid working model where staff can also work in an inviting office space. Of course, sustainability and space planning inform the choice of workspaces where, for example, meeting pods provide meeting spaces, reducing the need for partitioning and service alterations, and enabling future flexibility. To promote an inclusive and engaging workplace culture the introduction of expansive breakout areas equipped with recreational activities is becoming the norm, including games tables and gyms as well as providing ample social spaces for tea/coffee breaks, dining, and events. akp Scotland Ltd can help you realise your dream office. #commercial #office #workplace #wellbeing #sustainability #social

The last working day at akp before the traditional Christmas/New Year close down is always a mixture of trying to get work off your desk, emails answered, tenders sent off and sites closing down 😬 When that is all actioned we have secret Santa, raffles and pizza to look forward to 🎅 😄

In lieu of cards this Christmas our chosen charity is Pancreatic Cancer UK as nominated by our Contract Manager - Mark Smith MCIOB. A donation of £2,000 will be on it's way to them - Merry Christmas 🎅
