FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who are Ainscough Industrial Services?
Ainscough Industrial Services (AIS) is the parent brand for a group of specialist UK industrial service companies. The group includes AIS Eurelo (European cross-border industrial relocation), AIS Vanguard (UK machinery relocation and installation), AIS Wind Energy (onshore wind turbine services), AIS VIG Industrial (complex industrial relocations), and AIS Flegg Projects (logistics, machinery moving, and transport for specialist industries). Together, the group provides end-to-end industrial project capability.
Can the AIS Group manage cross-company industrial projects?

Where is the AIS Group based?
Yes. One of the key advantages of the AIS Group structure is the ability to deploy specialists from multiple AIS Group companies on a single project.

Our industrial services span the full project lifecycle, from initial plant moves and installations through to decommissioning and site clearance.
Is the AIS Group ISO accredited?
The AIS Group companies operate within a robust quality and safety management framework aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards. Individual company accreditations are available on request. Our health and safety performance is a core priority across all group operations.
