Airco lands large Yorkshire Council air conditioning contract

(29/05/2009)

Airco Group has landed one of the largest air conditioning contracts available in the region, to service and maintain air conditioning units in 153 schools, libraries and offices across the East Riding for the next five years.

The contract, awarded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, is worth around £100,000 per annum to Airco.

Paul Lough, Operations Director for Airco, said: “This is definitely one of the biggest contracts available to any air conditioning company within its local area. It is a fantastic boost for Airco and will enable us to set out our stall for at least the next five years.”

Paul Lough continued: “This was a complex tendering process and we could not be happier to win it. We believe that five companies were invited to tender for the contract and we demonstrated that we are the best-placed company to take on the work. There may also be spin off projects on the back of this which will boost the value of the contract further.”

Airco currently employs 45 staff at its head office in Hull but expects there may well be a need for more engineers in the future on the back of this latest contract. Airco’s other clients include Kingston Communications, Smith & Nephew, Seven Seas, Boots and Comet. The company has also achieved the globally-recognised ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.
