Key partner
Building strong relationships with other businesses has also helped ACS continue to grow and develop in new and exciting directions . Another of the company ’ s significant accomplishments is its partnership with Dutch renewable energy company , Fastned . As Matt details : “ As Fastned ’ s construction partner in the UK , we help them deliver a network of HV electric vehicle charging stations nationwide . This partnership was a huge accomplishment for us at ACS . We had to undergo quite a big tender exercise with pre-qualification stages , as well as interviews in Amsterdam with the Fastned board . But all our hard work paid off , and soon after that we were awarded the position of UK construction partner . “ So far , we ’ ve delivered on several projects for Fastned , helping them build their state-of-the-art network of HV EV charging stations across the UK . One of our flagship projects was the Oxford
Energy Charging Hub , which involved a huge number of companies within the sector . We ’ re still working with Fastned all over the country ; we ’ re currently working up in Scotland and down the East Coast , as well as extending our sites in London and Oxford . Fastned are one of our key partners and we are very proud of the work we are doing with them .”
With such a long and varied history , it ’ s exciting to think what ACS will do next . As Matt concludes , the business and its people will be taking things one step at a time : “ There ’ s so much happening right now . We are looking at potential acquisitions , organic developments , and exciting new projects are always on the horizon . The main goal is to maintain steady growth , retain the core members of our team , and grow our specialist skills into new areas . We are on the lookout for talented civil engineers to expand the scope of our capabilities . Other than that , this is a family-owned business . We want to look after our people and continue doing what we do .” ■
