WHO WE ARE
EPSCO started out in 1995 from very humble beginning driven by passion a clear vision, dedication and hard work by all the staff that joined us having a strong belief in quality and value for money. The company was focused on two areas – water and air that were permanently linked to quality, environment, health and safety. Over the years the company has grown into an international group in twelve countries on three continents with 18 branches specializing in services with quality, environment and safety issues at the forefront of the business.
EPSCO established a multi national family style of business where everyone gives their best and more and not just working as “Employees”, the customer always comes first along with the magic smiles that can only come from the staff having the culture of family spirit.
EPSCO pioneered the IAQ and restoration business in the Middle East and achieved ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 in 1998. This enabled the group to develop other markets whilst enhancing our quality and true value for the services we offer. We are members of many International associations in the United States and England since 1997 and underwent all the training available and we became the regional trainers for asbestos, Indoor Air Quality, Safety, chemical handling and Disaster, Fire & Flood Restoration in the Middle East.
We spend a lot of time educating decision makers and policy makers on the need for International standards for Indoor Air Quality, safe removal of Asbestos, and controllable diseases like Asthma.
Kelvin Bruce the founder of EPSCO became the Regional Coordinator for National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to promote internationally accepted standards For HVAC System cleaning and to create awareness and education.
Epsco Group is an active member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA), Restoration Industry Association (RIA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) and Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) produce Industry Standards for Fire and Flood restoration that are used worldwide and these standards are the backbone and Guidelines of our business.
Epsco has made considerable progress since 1995, but our challenges ahead, lay in protecting our environment from the world’s insatiable demand for energy and natural resources. The consequential and inevitable massive increase in global air pollution, not to mention the mountains of waste being produced, will provide us with plenty of other challenges too. By joining hands with like-minded environmental groups, such as the Greens Building Council, we can perhaps, help to provide a better world for our children to live in.
