With ambitious growth plans for its Omega switchgear range ISS are please to announce the appointment of Mark Burgess as head of the business development team. Tasked with cementing a strong and improved market position for the Omega product range, Mark has worked with the directors to develop plans to achieve a challenging 50% growth target over the next 12 months.

ISS have been awarded a contract with SES to supply and install a new low voltage power distribution solution at Harrogate hospital in North Yorkshire. This involves replacing the existing LV distribution switchboards with new Omega Switchboards. This will be undertaken during a phased changeover programme with temporary generators and distribution boards in place to ensure disruption to the hospitals essential services in minimised.

ISS recently completed the expansion of their manufacturing facility in Cheshire, with a new custom built Project Engineering office.  The design was completed internally by our dedicated engineering drawing office and the build works contracted out to a local supplier.

This now gives us a new modern, open plan engineering office, with dedicated project management and engineering teams working on nationwide projects across a spectrum of industries and blue chip clients.  It has also incorporated a product demonstration area for clients to come and view and undertake training on our Omega Switchgear branded range of LV distribution equipment.

This is part of our ambitious growth plans, as we put the foundations in place for the development and  expansion of our Rail, Projects and Manufacturing operations.

Following a detailed audit procedure by Achillies, ISS are pleased to announce we have achieved Link-Up accreditation, which allows us to work on Network Rail infrastructure, and to continue working with our London Underground partners including TfL, EDF Energy Powerlink, EDF Energy Contracting, ABB and Balfour Beatty Engineering Services Ltd.

This is a major milestone towards achieving our ambitious long term business plan to develop and build on our already successful rail operations, and highlights that the growth we have experienced over the last few years is set to continue, as we build on our existing relationships and begin to develop new business partners.

Hot on the heels of our success achieving Link-Up accreditation ISS have now being vetted and approved as an approved supplier for Invensys Rail following a successful visit and audit by Invensys Rail representatives.  This allows ISS to represent Invensys on Network Rail infrastructure and work with them on upcoming power engineering projects.

This is yet another significant step towards our long term business plan, and is hoped to be the start of a successful long term partnership between the two companies.
