Peebles behind new company ACR Supplies

Craig Peebles is setting up a new air conditioning and refrigeration product supply company

UK: Craig Peebles, the original co-founder of Pump House, is behind a new air conditioning and refrigeration distribution company being established in Nottingham.

The new company – ACR Supplies – was incorporated on January 31, and recently acquired 540m² premises on the Eldon Road Trading Estate in Attenborough, south west of Nottingham city centre. Adjacent to the A6006, the new premises will provide quick and easy access to the M1 motorway.

Peebles stepped down from his position as sales director of Pump House in 2017 – a year after the company he formed in 2000 had been sold to US supplier DiversiTech. Former Pump House product manager Tony Horne has joined Peebles in the new venture.

When contacted, Craig Peebles confirmed the establishment of the new business and promised further information in due course.
