ACEDA Celebrates 35 Years of Excellence and Growth

We are proud to celebrate our 35th year of trading, marking more than three decades of delivering Fire & Security, Network Infrastructure, and Electrical solutions across the Northeast and beyond.
Founded in 1991 by Nick Harker, ACEDA has grown into a trusted and established provider serving a wide range of market sectors, including Utilities, NHS, Higher Education and Retail. Over the years, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering high‑quality, compliant and innovative solutions, supported by a highly skilled and dedicated team.
As the company celebrates this significant milestone, 2026 is already shaping up to be a transformational year for ACEDA, with major investments made to support its next phase of strategic growth.
Strengthening Our Presence Across the Region & Beyond
To enhance service capabilities and better support clients across the Northeast, we have recently opened a new office in Newcastle. This expansion strengthens the company’s regional footprint and reflects its commitment to accessible, responsive and locally delivered expertise.

Investing in Leadership and Compliance
In addition to expanding its physical presence, we have made key appointments to drive future growth:
- A new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) – Chris Pattinson has joined the business to lead commercial strategy and accelerate the company’s expansion plans.
- A newly appointed Technical & Compliance Manager – Neil Byrom brings additional strength to ACEDA’s commitment to quality, safety, and best practice — areas that remain central to its long‑standing success.
These investments represent the beginning of an ambitious development plan for 2026 and beyond, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the Fire & Security, Infrastructure and Electrical sectors.
We would like to thank our clients, partners and exceptional team for their support over the past 35 years. The business looks forward to continuing its journey of innovation, service excellence and regional growth as it enters an exciting new chapter.
