Aspen Cooling

What Aspen Cooling does

Aspen Cooling Ltd is a privately held UK refrigeration and air-conditioning services company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Solihull, West Midlands. It supplies, installs, services, and maintains commercial air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, ranging from single-room units to centralized plants and ductwork distribution for large-scale installations. Its core technology portfolio spans conventional air-conditioning, heat-pump systems (up to five times more energy efficient than conventional heaters), close control air-conditioning for sensitive environments such as data centres and server rooms, and refrigeration equipment including chilled and frozen display cabinets, cold rooms, freezer rooms, cellar cooling, and central plant pipework, together with control and alarm monitoring. Distinctive technical positioning includes use of natural refrigerants and state-of-the-art installation techniques.

The company's revenue model blends three streams: one-time equipment supply and installation project revenue, recurring service and maintenance contracts (planned preventative maintenance plus 24-hour emergency breakdown cover with a four-hour average response), and project-management professional services covering design, planning and comparative running-cost analysis. Distribution is direct B2B field sales to commercial customers and their professional advisors (architects, facilities managers, building contractors), with engineering coverage across seven UK hubs (Solihull HQ plus Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Peterborough) and occasional international project work. The customer base spans food and drink, hospitality, manufacturing, business and property, and IT/data-centre segments, with named enterprise accounts including The Restaurant Group, Warner Leisure Hotels, Select Service Partner, Giraffe, BHX The Factory, Guy's Hospital AMT Coffee and Inspired Thinking Group. The firm reports a 97% customer retention rate and 11-50 employees, operates as a standalone private limited company with no disclosed parent or institutional ownership, and has no public funding or M&A history.
