OUR HISTORY

Formed in 1972, over 50 years ago, the company has evolved over the many years.

Whilst the company originally specialised in air conditioning, we recognised the benefit to the client of offering a wider ranging service and therefore developed the mechanical side of the business becoming a full mechanical services company – our company name , originally AC Air Conditioning Ltd, subsequently became AC Mechanical Services Ltd. Initially the financial sector was the core of our business but over its long history the company has adapted to changing markets and now prides itself on serving a wide range of sectors where we have built relationships with many high profile clients.

In 2007 the company was purchased by David Aquilina, Jane Fisher and Neil Hanley, and our Wotton Under Edge office in Gloucestershire was established as our Head Office.

In 2012/3 Steve Walker and Graham Hoskins , having worked in the company for 33 years in total and with over 50 years experience in the industry, became directors with the future of the company in mind and the intention of strengthening the continued growth and success of the business.

OUR MISSION

By building on our reputation for achieving the highest standards in all we do, our mission is to continue to meet and exceed our client’s expectations.

Our aim is to deliver all projects on time, within budget and with a minimum of disruption to our clients and end users.

We will continue to work with leading manufacturers to provide innovative value engineered solutions which address environmental, energy consumption and sustainability concerns.
