About Us

Founded by Andy Drummond and Paul Brewer in 2009

Our dedication to our clients earned us a loyal following, and as demand grew, so did we, moving several times before finding our home in Romsey where our team continue to work from today.

After Paul’s retirement in 2023, Andy took on the role of managing director, supported by finance director Claire and operations director Carl. Together, they lead a team of 15 talented people, most of whom are former engineers who fully understand all there is to know about compressed air systems.

What hasn’t changed since 2009 is our approach, and we pride ourselves on being friendly, honest, and focused on long-term client relationships. Whether it’s a single compressor or a full system, we bring unrivalled expertise and truly care about every project.

What we offer

Today, we’re proud to be the largest independent compressor supplier in the South of England, but size hasn’t changed who we are. Our growth has come from doing what we do best, combining the capability of a large company with the personal touch of a local business.

We’re trusted as a premier distributor for major manufacturers such as Atlas Copco, which means our team meets the highest standards for quality, reliability, and technical expertise. We’re approachable and adaptable, making sure every customer, large or small, gets the same level of attention and care.

Every member of our team boasts strong technical knowledge, and we’re passionate about keeping that expertise in-house. That’s why our management roles are filled through internal promotion, as we believe the people who know our business best are the ones who should lead it forward.

With years of experience and love for what we do, Airia offers the perfect balance of skill, knowledge, and service, helping businesses across the South keep their operations running smoothly and efficiently.
