About VES

"A ventilation equipment manufacturer, VES Andover Ltd supplies and manufactures ventilation equipment, AHUs and air handling unit refurbishment."

VES was founded in 1968 by David Peters. From a small factory unit in Andover, the company has grown today to a turnover of over £20 million. In 2002 VES expanded the business relocated from Andover to Chandlers Ford in Hampshire. Here the business has taken root and with over 250 staff has established itself as a major local employer. It now operates from four sites: headquarters in Chandlers Ford, 2 fabrication plants in Eastleigh, regional office in Manchester.

There are thousands of VES installations, mostly in the UK, but also in far-flung locations such as the Falkland Islands and Antarctica. Today VES engineers can be found repairing, refurbishing, servicing and maintaining units of any manufacturer as well as those of VES itself.

Throughout its history, VES has maintained a more personal small business approach when working with customers. Many customers have been with VES since its inception and it is that ability to retain customers and continue to deliver excellent products, service and value that provides a firm basis for ongoing expansion.

As a family run business John and Richard Peters have continued to build on the foundations laid over forty years ago. Together with the VES team they are committed to making VES the first choice for providing better air for the built environment.

We helped pioneer heat recovery technology and recognised early on the need to offer alternatives to just replacing existing older units.
