UK:  Air conditioning and refrigeration contractor, Aberdeen Cooling Solutions (AC Solutions), has merged with facilities services company Kore Solutions of Westhill, Aberdeenshire.

Established in 2018, AC Solutions will now form a new technical division within Kore, with AC Solutions MD and founder Ryan Pirie taking on the newly created role of operations director.

Kore Solutions MD Duncan Booth said that the merger with AC Solutions would increase the company’s business development with a larger, stronger workforce and added expertise.

“Having already established a good working relationship with AC Solutions, we recognised the huge potential benefits to both companies by combining our services,” he said. 

In a statement, Kore said it would be able to offer its existing customers an expanded in-building solutions service with the added expertise of the AC Solutions team, while continuing to attract and develop new client relationships.

Ryan Pirie described the deal as “an extremely positive step forward” for AC Solutions. “The merger with Kore gives us the chance to offer new services to our existing clients who will benefit from a combined skill set of talented engineers who will continue to place customer satisfaction at the core of what we do,” he said.
