Company History
Astral Control Services Limited was established in 1999 by Alan Jones and Stevie Hall as an HVAC Automatic Controls company serving organisations in the North East of England.
We first operated from offices based in the west of Newcastle in Westerhope and grew organically through the provision of services and solutions to a varied client base.
The company moved to our new Head Office at Orion Business Park in North Shields to allow for further growth and to facilitate the creation of a Control Panel manufacturing facility.
Following the move, we have continued to provide high quality HVAC Automatic Controls Systems and Support Services to end-user organisations and Building Consultants and with our Control Panel manufacturing facility we are able to provide fully tested and warranted Control Panels to companies throughout the UK.
Astral Control Services Energy Bureau facilitates the efficient use of energy and reduction of energy consumption enabling organisations to monitor and meet government targets and EU legislation.
Astral and our Directors are proud of our heritage and are excited and positive about the future.
