We led the transformation of the former AA Carpet Showroom on Chapel Road into a high-performance, future-ready ambulance workshop. The result is a modern facility that significantly enhances the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust’s (NWAS) operational capability across Cumbria, ensuring that vital frontline services can continue to respond quickly and reliably.

The redevelopment includes a dedicated ambulance maintenance workshop with MOT testing capabilities, along with specialist bays for electric vehicle servicing. The facility also provides secure ambulance parking, modern staff welfare areas, fully equipped office accommodation, and a flexible training room. External works were carried out to incorporate electric vehicle charging infrastructure, supporting both fleet and staff vehicles.

The project was delivered in close collaboration with the main contractor, Ascot, and multi-disciplinary engineers WSP, who provided mechanical, electrical, civil, and structural engineering services.
