Our history
Compelled by the worsening levels of air pollution in the UK, we launched Evotech Air Quality in October 2020 to help our customers create safer working environments by transforming their indoor air quality.
Launched in March 2020 our dedicated fire & security division helps our clients keep their people, buildings and possessions safe from the risks of fire and intrudes through the provision of bespoke fire & security protection systems and remote monitoring solutions.
Following the MBO of Stroma Group, backed by LDC Corporate Finance, Stroma Evolution rebranded to Evotech to create an independent UK-wide provider of building maintenance services.
Stroma Group, a UK market leader in the field of building sustainability, energy performance and compliance, acquired SIAS FM to enter the UK building services market under the Stroma Evolution brand.
Diffusion Group acquired the service division of SIAS Building Services to create a national provider of HVAC maintenance under the SIAS FM brand.
Diffusion FM was established as the service division of Diffusion Group, a leading UK based manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air conditioning products.
