Nordic Climate Group has expanded in the UK with the acquisition of Kool It Services Ltd, a Manchester-based company providing cooling and heating installation, service and maintenance for commercial buildings and businesses.
Founded in 1972 as a family business, Kool It is led by Rick and Clare Dearden and is now in its second generation. The company has 19 employees and serves customers across offices, retail, healthcare and food & beverage.
Kool It will continue to operate under its existing local brand and leadership as part of Nordic Climate Group. The acquisition strengthens Nordic Climate Group’s presence in Northern England and expands its position in energy-efficient cooling and heating solutions for commercial buildings.
Service and maintenance are a growing part of Kool It’s business, supporting long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue.
“Kool It is a highly respected business with deep technical expertise and a strong local presence in an important region for us. The company shares many of the qualities we value in Nordic Climate Group, including strong local entrepreneurship, long-term thinking and opportunities to share knowledge and experience across the group,” said Ronnie Coutts, CEO of Nordic Climate Group UK.
“Kool It has developed over many years through close customer relationships, committed employees and a strong local reputation. Joining Nordic Climate Group allows us to continue building on that foundation while becoming part of a group that shares our long-term mindset and entrepreneurial approach,” said Rick and Clare Dearden, Managing Directors of Kool It Services Ltd.
