An Inverness business with more than 35 years experience in the sale and repair of home appliances is under new ownership.

"Customers old and new will benefit from the enhanced and strengthened offering created by Highland Appliance Services becoming part of one of the largest and most respected businesses of its kind in the UK.”
Kevin Brown, chief executive of Pacifica Group, said: "Highland Appliance Services is a perfect fit with the Pacifica business and ethos as we expand our commercial reach and customer base across the UK.
“It has an impressive reputation, with highly skilled technicians and a committed office-based team. It shares our focus on quality customer service and continual development of expertise in appliance repair. This deal complements and underpins what we offer across a wider geographical area as part of our ambitious plans for growth.
