We are excited to announce the acquisition of Derek Austin Heating Ltd (trading as Austin Heating & Cooling) and Ice Box Air Conditioning Ltd. As of today both companies are now part of the Pitkin & Ruddock Group.

This marks a significant step forward as we unite our teams, expertise and shared commitment to excellence. The addition of a commercial heating and plumbing company alongside our refrigeration and air conditioning expertise strengthens our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

With the heating market shifting towards air to water heat pump systems as a sustainable alternative to traditional gas and oil-fired heating, this expansion positions us at the forefront of the industry. By combining our knowledge and resources we are well placed to provide innovative, energy-efficient solutions for businesses adapting to these changes.

Additionally, this presents exciting opportunities to expand our customer portfolio, allowing us to support a broader range of industries and businesses with our enhanced capabilities.

We look forward to welcoming and working alongside our new colleagues, building on the strong foundations already in place and continuing to deliver the high standards of service and technical excellence our customers expect.

Here’s to a bright and successful future ahead!
