akp Joint Managing Directors

IAN MCEWAN - There was no plan. You see an opportunity and take it. I didn’t know where it would end up, but we earned a good reputation because we were doing things differently. The origins of akp go back over 25 years, and it was a very simple concept which I wanted to offer the Scottish Construction marketplace, to offer something different, a more modern approach. Today I feel that akp sits as one of Scotland’s go to Construction, Refurbishment and Fit Out Contractors. I love the diversity of projects we deliver which range from around £100k to £7m. MARTIN ROWLEY – Ian and I share the same values. If the people, culture and values are right, everything else falls into place. Both Ian and I are very hands on. Ian holds the front of house and estimating meetings while I look after project delivery and the operational aspects of the business. Most jobs have their challenges and key is the way that you deal with those challenges. This is a rewarding job and the tougher the jobs are, the more rewarding they become. We’re approachable and easy to get on with.
