The Acme Facilities Group, a leading UK provider of commercial kitchens, refrigeration, and air conditioning, has announced the strongest financial results in its 60-year history. Despite wider pressures across the catering and cooling industries, the business has delivered a 17% rise in turnover, approaching £14 million.
This achievement reflects more than financial success; it marks the continuation of a strategic transformation within the company. By focusing on client retention and repeat business, Acme has prioritised quality and long-term partnerships over short-term gains. Backed by consistent investment in people, training, and operational systems, the company has strengthened its ability to grow while maintaining its hallmark customer-first approach.
Acme’s resilience has been underpinned by its work with a wide variety of clients, from independent pubs and local eateries to national hospitality groups, educational institutions, and major retail estates. This diversity of sectors has enabled the company to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and capture opportunities for further expansion.
Paul Kitchin, Sales Director at Acme, said: “Reaching 60 years is an incredible milestone for Acme, and we are thrilled to mark this anniversary with the best financial results in our history. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering dedication and hard work of our entire team. Over the past year, we have focused on strengthening relationships, delivering high quality projects, and consistently providing top-tier customer service—and it’s truly rewarding to see that commitment reflected in these outstanding results.
“We’re immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but we’re not stopping here. We continue to invest in our business, our people, and the service we provide because we know that’s what fuels sustainable growth and long-term success. Here’s to the next chapter of excellence, as we build on our heritage for another 60 years and beyond!”
A major driver of this record year has been increased demand for Acme’s maintenance services. With businesses seeking reliable, rapid support, customers have turned to Acme’s directly employed engineers for both planned servicing and emergency assistance. This hands-on approach ensures faster response times and a greater focus on achieving first-time fixes, further enhancing customer satisfaction.
Environmental responsibility remains central to Acme’s strategy, even during a period of rapid growth. The company has implemented a range of initiatives to minimise its carbon footprint, including installing solar panels at its headquarters and maintaining a low-emission fleet of vehicles to support day-to-day operations sustainably.
In addition, Acme has refreshed its entire fleet of engineering vans, selecting Nissan Primastar long-wheelbase LCVs to better equip engineers in the field. The upgrade was designed to improve operational efficiency, increase first-time fix rates, and deliver a consistently high-quality service nationwide. The new vehicles also strengthen Acme’s visual presence, reinforcing its reputation for excellence across the UK.
With strengthened infrastructure, expanded capabilities, and a committed team, the company’s leadership remains optimistic about the future. The past year has proven that Acme’s approach—built on quality, reliability, and long-term partnerships—continues to deliver results, even in challenging economic conditions.
Celebrating six decades of innovation, service, and technical expertise, Acme views this record-breaking year as both a milestone and a foundation for the future. With its focus on people, performance, and purpose, the company is poised for continued growth and long-term success.
