Effective from Monday 4th November 2024, Atlas Copco UK Holdings Ltd has acquired 100% ownership of Pennine Pneumatic Services Limited (PPS).
At PPS we have been an Atlas Copco premier distributor for many years and will continue to offer the same products and services we always have, as well as an extended product offering as part of Atlas Copco Compressors UK’s business operations.
PPS will continue to operate as a stand-alone company within Atlas Copco Compressors UK, under the Pennine Pneumatic Services brand name, for the foreseeable future.
In this new era, our core principle of providing a superior compressed air service to local businesses, and the team’s dedication to customers, will remain firm.
Matt O’Connor, PPS Managing Director, commented “PPS has been built on the strength and resilience of its people. Since Gary Whitaker founded the business 33 years ago the team have continued to develop, diversify and embrace change. This growth mindset has been even more evident over the past 10 years while led by Ian Harrison and more recently myself. As part of R&G Fluid Power Group we’ve gone through a period of acquisitions and dramatic growth.
“From small beginnings to five branches across the north and over 90 team members, we couldn’t do what we do without the support of our team, customers and suppliers. Becoming part of Atlas Copco Compressors UK, with its focus on the wellbeing of the team, innovation and the environment, makes this next chapter the most exciting yet, for both our customers and the PPS team.”
Ariel Rubinstein, General Manager, Atlas Copco Compressors UK & Ireland added “Pennine Pneumatic Services showcases strong sales and service presence in the North of England which will open additional opportunities for us going forward. I would like to welcome our new colleagues from PPS to Atlas Copco Group.”
For our customers, please be assured that our commitment to you and the service we provide remains the same, we value your business and continued loyalty. Our teams will still deliver the same high standard that you have come to expect. PPS Engineers will still have the same skills, tools and software, and will still be able to service and repair all our existing customers’ equipment.
If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your usual PPS contact.
