A
refrigeration and air-conditioning
company has outlined ambitious
growth plans after expanding with
larger premises and returning to
its roots.
Aircon Group, grown from Aircon
Refrigeration, has moved to 8,000 sq ft
premises on Teesside Industrial Estate in
Thornaby after a five-year spell at Riverside
Park in Middlesbrough.
The company, which also has a branch in
Rotherham, South Yorkshire, aims to grow
annual sales from just over £5m to £8-9m
over the next two-to-three years and will
need to recruit at least 10 more people
within the business.
Aircon Group, which originally started out
in Thornaby in 1963, has recently invested
in its new premises and in-house training
facilities to maintain and improve its quality
services to customers.
Plans include expanding its existing
services as well as heating and mechanical
services, electrical services, legionella
testing and its capital equipment hire
department.
Managing director Steve Farrell, who
owns the company along with sales director
Bob Dann, said: “We’re in a position where
we have to invest, increase our range of
services and grow. We’ve got a fantastic
team, I trust them all and we offer a great
service so why not?
“We can’t stand still, we need to grow
further over the next few years. If we
can do that there’s going to be more
employment within the company.
“Anyone who joins us will know that
excellent core values are at the centre of
our business to ensure a happy workforce
and excellent customer service.”
Aircon Group is already well established
in the field and employs 50 people across
its two branches and services more than
900 customers up and down the country,
with around half of those in the Tees Valley
area.
“We’re ready for the future now,” says
business manager James Farrell.
“We’re investing a lot of time and
resource into recruiting the right people and
offering training where needed and we’re
continually investing and developing further
our in-house training facilities to ensure our
customers receive a high-quality service.
“We want our customers to know
that we care, as a business, this is at
the forefront of our values. The future is
exciting.”
