“AC Networks are an excellent Supplier of cabling solutions, they offer a fast and reliable service always meeting the demands placed upon them.”

Richard, IT Manager Barnsley Hospital

I have been dealing with AC Electrical for many years. As a company they have served the AKW Group and now Kinaxia Logistics with the highest quality of service. The service element is the easiest point to highlight but more than this we (AKW) have also become a provider to many blue-chip companies. This brings with it many aspects of quality and the highest standards. AC Electrical have always been up to date with current qualifications and the high standards we demand to prove we only use the highest quality suppliers. I have recommended AC Electrical many times and feed back has always been very positive.

Mark Worthington, AKW Global Warehousing Ltd

AC Electrical is a well organised company. They are always available to deal with our enquiries or emergencies. Andrew Church is our main office contact and Mark Hutchins is the main electrician who attends site and is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Shelley, Magnum Materials Ltd

AC Electrical is a highly valued asset to Sodexo at the Manchester Royal Infirmary. All the staff at AC Electrical from engineers on site to the back of house staff have always shown a high level of professionalism and understanding to what can be a very difficult and challenging environment as a live hospital can present itself to be.

Lee Frazer, Sodexo Ltd

AC Electrical have provided a faultless service to AKW Global Logistics. We can’t thank them enough for their flexible support and high standards of work.
