Air Power East Celebrates 35 Years Supporting Businesses Across East Anglia
Since founding the business on 4 July 1991, our Managing Director, Richard Sewell, has led Air Power East from a small independent company into one of the region's leading suppliers of compressed air solutions.
Today, we are proud to support customers across manufacturing, agriculture, engineering, education, the public sector and many other industries throughout East Anglia.
Keeping East Anglia Running
Compressed air is often described as the fourth utility, alongside electricity, gas and water. It's something many people never think about, but it plays a vital role in keeping businesses operating efficiently every day.
Whether we're servicing a compressor for a local engineering workshop, helping farmers protect harvested grain, responding to an emergency breakdown for a manufacturer or designing complete compressed air systems for major industrial facilities, our goal has always remained the same: to provide reliable products, honest advice and exceptional service.
Built on Relationships
Over the past 35 years, Air Power East has continued to evolve alongside advances in compressed air technology. By investing in energy-efficient equipment, preventative maintenance programmes and the latest engineering expertise, we've helped our customers reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency and minimise costly downtime.
We've also invested in our purpose-built headquarters in Stanton, creating a strong foundation for the future while reinforcing our long-term commitment to businesses throughout East Anglia. Supported by an experienced team of engineers, technical specialists and operational staff, we're proud to hold respected industry accreditations, including Constructionline Gold and SafeContractor accreditation, alongside our long-standing partnership with Atlas Copco UK.
Looking to the Future
While we're proud to celebrate everything we've achieved over the past three and a half decades, we're equally excited about the future.
As industries continue to evolve, Air Power East remains committed to investing in innovation, supporting local businesses and delivering the expertise, personal service and dependable support that our customers have relied on since 1991.
To everyone who has been part of our journey - our customers, suppliers, partners and employees - thank you. Your trust and support have helped shape Air Power East into the business it is today, and we look forward to continuing to support businesses across East Anglia for many years to come.
A Message from Richard Sewell
Reflecting on the anniversary, Managing Director Richard Sewell said:
"Reaching 35 years in business is something I am incredibly proud of. When Air Power East was established in 1991, our aim was simple – to provide customers with reliable products, honest advice and outstanding service. Those values remain at the heart of everything we do today.
"I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and our fantastic team for their loyalty, hard work and support over the past 35 years. The business has grown because of the relationships we've built, and I'm excited about what the future holds."
