Aerocom (UK) Ltd, founded in 2000 by John Hughes, serves as the exclusive UK representative for Aerocom GmbH & Co., a global leader in pneumatic tube systems. Building on John's prior success with Aerocom Ireland, the company established its national headquarters in Nottingham to support a growing British clientele and their post-installation service needs.
Recognising evolving market demands, Aerocom (UK) Ltd has diversified its offerings by partnering with several world-leading manufacturers. This expansion includes a comprehensive range of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) tailored for modern hospitals and various industries, as well as specialised blood sample handling air tube systems compatible with laboratory analysis machinery.
Initially, Aerocom's systems were predominantly installed in NHS hospitals, facilitating the transport of samples, pharmaceuticals, and documents across complex estates. Through sound business management and a dedicated team, Aerocom (UK) Ltd has evolved into a leading provider of internal logistics solutions, boasting several hundred installations nationwide. Their commitment to quality products and exceptional customer aftercare has solidified their reputation in the industry.
Notably, the company's early installations include esteemed institutions such as St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. These clients continue to utilise and benefit from Aerocom's advanced AC3000 systems, reflecting the company's dedication to long-term service and technical development.
As the demand for reliable and compliant sample transportation solutions has grown within UK hospitals, Aerocom (UK) Ltd has expanded its client base to over 100 NHS hospitals and numerous private clinics. Their status as an NHS Approved Framework Supplier underscores their commitment to quality and reliability in the healthcare sector.
