akp has been named as the Principal Contractor for the second phase of refurbishment works at Cairn Lodge Services.

The refurbishment will include the renewal of windows and doors, redecoration throughout and a brand new main kitchen and seating area.

Located just off the A74 (M) between J11 and J12, the services are owned by Westmorland which runs Tebay on the M6, Rheged and Gloucester on the M5.

Ian McEwan, akp Joint Managing Director, said: "With our origins also as a family run business, akp began trading 28 years ago and strive to offer our clients the same approach today that we did then; delivering a personal service, taking pride in each and every project and offering something different – a more modern approach. So, working with the Westmorland Family and its wider Board felt like a natural partnership, with their forward-thinking approach and vision."

akp is working with Unum Architect's, Allan & Hanel and Will Rudd Davidson to deliver the project.

Works are due to commence in mid-September and will be complete by late November.
