"I just wanted to say a big thank you to the team at AES for completing this installation on time. I found every member of your team very friendly, professional and they are an asset to your organisation. The quality of the work has been exceptional."

Service Manager - Teledyne GMI

The C-VAC extraction system is a revelation, we’re two years in and I’ve never worked in a workshop that’s as dust-free as ours. The fact that it’s automated means pupils don’t need to turn it on, along with the machine they’re using. Health & Safety within Design Technology has always been challenging to achieve within departments that have evolved over time but in a new build the H&S has been planned from the start, making the workshop as safe a place as it can be for our pupils.

Senior Technician in Engineering and Design - University of Chichester

I have dealt with AES on several projects, the last being the £40m New Ayrshire College in Kilmarnock; a ‘7 star’ campus providing facilities for Engineering and Construction students. AES Solutions were the successful contractor providing workshop equipment to facilitate this. Works involved space design, supply and commissioning of equipment to the value of £600k. Works have been carried out on time to an extremely tight budget which has involved some challenging value engineering. AES have risen to the challenge and at times gone above and beyond what would be expected of a sub-contractor. There have provided an excellent back-up facility of in-house design and procurement. I would have no hesitation in recommending AES Solutions on future projects.
