Access Platform Sales (APS) and Independent Parts & Service (IPS) have merged to form IAPS Group, which describes itself as the UK’s largest independent full service distributor of powered access platforms.
IAPS brings together the parts sales business of IPS and the platform sales business of APS.
Under the IAPS Group umbrella, APS and IPS will continue to operate as distinct divisions, along with a new division, Platform Service & Repair (PSR), which is the new name for the service operations.
IAPS Group chairman Jim Daintith said: “While IAPS Group is the parent company, we were very conscious that we had two strong brands in APS and IPS, so it was important to retain and build on them. Our belief was always that, together, we have a compelling full service distribution package that will be highly attractive to equipment manufacturers as well as customers.
“We are already seeing evidence of this in our recent contract wins to support Youngman BoSS in France and our appointment as the exclusive UK distributor for the innovative X-Step low-level access platform.”
