repair company with a strong reputation for reliability, technical excellence, and an experienced and trusted
workforce.

manufacturer, however, it does hold affiliate approval from several manufacturers that allow it to operate with
equipment that requires specific manufacturer approval.

to Hertfordshire. A highly experienced and skilled workforce, with a competent management and office function,
have enabled the Company to develop strong relationships with its clients.

refrigeration, facilities management and technical services sectors.
