Gloucester-based ISD Solutions is a specialist contractor in the design and construction of composite panel cold store warehouses, firewalls, data centres and clean rooms. In 2013 it banked record revenues up 22% to £27m and growth of 54% for the past five years.

The company, which has rolling contracts with Aldi, Waitrose and Ocado to provide both warehouse and in store cold storage facilities, has recently won new orders for distribution depots in Bicester and Chepstow valued at £1.7m. It has also won orders for a new pharmaceutical chill store in Northern Ireland and a new cold store warehouse in London worth £300,000.

The company has already secured 35% of its annual projected turnover in the first month of 2014, assisted in part by a €7m order from Ireland for high bay composite-clad warehouses for the storage of blood plasma, as well as a food service distribution depot.

CEO Andy Moon said: “Because we have started 2014 so well, we are confident of 10-15% growth in most markets this year. Our strategic focus on quality, customer service and robust financial control is paying off, especially as over 90% of our projects represent repeat business from satisfied customers and partners.”
