PPSPower and YorPower Join Forces Under Stephen Peal

PPSPower and YorPower Join Forces Under Stephen Peal
14 June 2022
 

Stephen Peal, formerly the Managing Director of PPSPower, is now Group Managing Director of the YorPower, PPSPower, Glenace and Generator Warehouse businesses.

YorPower and PPSPower have historically operated as separate entities, despite being part of the same group. The two companies are now reorganising their business structure to offer maintenance solutions for generators and UPS units, and the actual manufacturing, installation and commission of back up generators, under one roof.

The new business structure aims to offer a solution for customers looking for reliable back-up power solutions of any kind, in the UK or overseas. With most business operations offering a 24/7 service, even a momentary break in power can be disastrous, making the maintenance of emergency power systems a critical part of operations.

PPS Power’s former MD Stephen Peal will take on the role of Group Managing Director of the YorPower, PPSPower, Glenace and Generator Warehouse businesses.

Tony Brimble remains as Group CEO.

 

“This reorganisation is a logical step in the group’s progression. We will start to operate as a much more unified entity, with all areas of our business working together to offer complete generator and UPS solutions for all customers in all sectors, wherever they are located globally."

PPSPower and YoPower Now an Integrated Group

 

Commenting on the announcement, Stephen said: “This reorganisation is a logical step in the group’s progression. We will start to operate as a much more unified entity, with all areas of our business working together to offer complete generator and UPS solutions for all customers in all sectors, wherever they are located globally.

“The different parts of the business have always done a great job and have become highly respected within very niche areas. YorPower may be known to certain customers as a manufacturer and exporter of generators, while PPSPower can be relied upon for its maintenance expertise in the UK by customers as diverse as the National Grid, NHS, police forces, sports stadia and various water authorities, generally supported through facilities management companies.

“The common thread that runs throughout the different areas is our partnership approach: we work collaboratively with our customers to understand exactly what they need so that we can deliver a solution that exceeds their expectations. Now we are applying that same approach within our group of companies. All our staff, from CEO to apprentice, will be part of the one family approach to exceptional service.”

YorPower Director Ian Thompson added: “As an integrated group, we will have much greater resilience and unity. I am really excited at the prospect of being able to capitalise on the tremendous planning expertise of PPSPower throughout the rest of the business.

“Our whole culture will improve dramatically by all being part of one family. All the skills we had working in different pockets of our companies will now be pooled. It will transform our efficiency, the way we work and the service we deliver to our customers.”
