Nordic Climate Group expands its UK footprint by acquiring Technical Retail Services Ltd (TRS), a Glasgow-based provider of refrigeration, electrical and mechanical services with operations across Scotland and England. The acquisition strengthens the Group’s presence in the UK and adds a service-led business with long-standing partnerships with several of the UK’s major retailers.

Founded in 1998, TRS has built a strong position in the retail sector through reliable delivery, technical expertise and consistent service performance. The company supports blue-chip customers across the UK and has demonstrated steady growth and stable profitability in recent years. With 70 employees, TRS adds both scale and geographic reach to Nordic Climate Group’s UK organisation and will continue operating under its own name and from its current sites.

“TRS brings a highly capable design, instal and service organisation with deep experience in retail refrigeration and a reputation for long-term customer partnerships. Their strong operational focus and ability to support national customers aligns well with our ambition to expand our service offering and technical capabilities across the UK,” says Fredrik Gren, President and Group CEO of Nordic Climate Group.

TRS is owned and led by Robert Yule and Stephen Lees, who will continue in their roles together with the wider leadership team. Their combined expertise in service and project delivery has shaped the company’s strong culture and customer loyalty, a continuity that remains as TRS joins Nordic Climate Group.

“Working closely with major retailers over many years has taught us the value of reliability, technical precision and strong partnerships. Joining Nordic Climate Group enables us to develop further while keeping our focus on the customers and sectors we know best,” say Robert Yule and Stephen Lees, Directors of Technical Retail Services.

With TRS onboard, Nordic Climate Group now brings together 6 UK companies with complementary strengths in service, refrigeration and technical solutions across regional and national markets.
