ION Water and Environmental Management Ltd
IWS are delighted to announce the acquisition of ION Water and Environmental Management Ltd. This strategic acquisition will strengthen the IWS water hygiene service provision within Scotland and the North East of England.

ION is a water hygiene business based in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire and has recently opened an office in Newcastle upon Tyne. ION has an excellent reputation within the industry, providing a wide range of client’s exceptionally high levels of service along with a highly skilled and very motivated workforce.

The acquisition facilitates an established reporting centre, client base and workforce within Scotland providing opportunities to further expand the IWS client base and regionalised delivery of both water hygiene and M&E services.

Pete Aspley MD (IWS) says:
“This is fantastic news for IWS and ION, both businesses have an excellent reputation, this acquisition will strengthen the existing business and enable us to provide an extended range of services to existing and new clients. We are delighted that Paul Harris the former owner, will remain within the business and has joined the IWS board of Directors. Paul has a wealth of industry experience and will further strengthen the senior management team”.

National Coverage
IWS/ion believe that to effectively manage a highly productive workforce and to offer truly national coverage the business must operate regionally.

IWS operate over 290 service personnel from bases in Scotland, Fradley in Staffordshire, Chippenham in Wiltshire, Heywood in Lancashire, Stanley in Durham and South Wales. The IWS pump refurbishment workshops are based at our Walsall Headquarters.
