Unsurprisingly, with this in mind, I & A Services was named the ‘Best Energy Saving Service Providers’ in Scotland in SME’s 2019 UK Enterprise Awards. We spoke to one of the firm’s Directors, Iain Brown, to find out more. The Experts in Environmentally Friendly Lighting By all regards, businesses today are embracing a more environmentally- friendly outlook as they look to stay, always, at the cutting edge of their respective industries. After all, sustainability is a rising trend, and companies are taking every opportunity to capitalise on it. That’s where I & A Services comes in. As experts in their field they understand the importance of reducing your energy footprint and reducing repair cost to old lighting. More importantly, they have the experience and skills to guide any business to a more eco-friendly future – as Iain explains further. “I & A Services specialise, primarily, in the maintenance and installation of LED lighting conversions, lightening conductor testing and lighting installation, hard wire testing, and portable appliance testing. Alongside this we also work with external and internal car park lighting efficiency, and retail park lighting. Ultimately, the success of the business is down to our client-centric outlook, that prides itself on clearly communicating on the progress of each job and always advising the clients toward the best-possible cost-efficient way in doing any job small or large.” Serving a wide variety of clients, from Property Management companies to large-scale industrial units, I & A Services has grown organically on the back of word of mouth and referrals. “All contracts are word of mouth as we do not advertise – we believe that is a testament to our services and value for money. Moreover, as a small company we pride ourselves in personal communication with each client daily and weekly.” Iain continues, detailing some of the projects the company has completed in recently. “We’ve completed a full LED conversion of a car park in Irvine, Springfield Quey, Craigleith Retail Park, Strathclyde business Park LED refit and at Buchanan Towers. Stepps installation of new car park lighting – with all installations being energy-saving.” Finally, Iain offers some insight into I & A Services’ future as they look to utilise their decades of expertise in what is a rather niche – but crucially important – industry. “We’ve been in the lighting industry for over 35 years, and seen it progress rapidly in the last few years with the LED opening up the marketplace. As always, we remain dedicated to providing good, honest advice with competitive costs. Finally, we take pride in carrying out work for our clients that is a key factor to their growth and reliability.” Company: I & A Services (Scotland) Ltd Name: Iain Brown Address: Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland Website: www.iandaservicesscotland.co.uk
