ACE lands prison contract

UK: Hopefully ACE Refrigeration will get time off for good behaviour after landing a 3-year maintenance deal with the Scottish Prison Service. 

The family firm, which was established in Glasgow in 1951, will provide both preventative and reactive service and maintenance for both air conditioning and refrigeration.

The new contract covers 13 prisons and three other sites throughout the country and will run for three years with an option to extend the contract for a further two years.

“We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Scottish Prison Service who will join our clients in the food processing industry, hospitality business and health life science and pharmaceutical sectors,” said Foster McKenzie, ACE Refrigeration’s Service and maintenance director.

As well as service and maintenance work, ACE Refrigeration has previously carried out major design and installation projects for cold rooms and freezer rooms, ice generators, chilled production facilities and blast chillers and freezers for food processors, dairy companies, the fish and seafood industry, the meat business and fruit and vegetable sectors throughout the country.

Clients in the food processing industry include Albert Bartletts, AP Jess, Associated Seafoods, Braehead SFO, Drysdales, Glenrath Eggs and Marine Harvest.

Whilst ACE predominantly works across the UK and Ireland, they have also completed projects in Chad, Gabon, the Falkland Islands, and France and have been working in Kazakhstan for almost twenty years.
