About IDS - Drives, Motors and Controls

We pride ourselves in applying our knowledge and experience of inverters to our customers’ applications to save energy, improve systems or reduce wear and tear. We carry out free site surveys - Energy Efficiency Motor Audits - to identify inverter applications, quantify the potential savings, recommend solutions including the control systems and give a turnkey installation price. This report shows the savings you will make, and the time it will take to pay back the capital spent. You can book an Energy Efficiency Motor Audit on our website http://www.inverterdrivesystems.com/energy-efficiency-motor-audit/ Inverter Drive Systems Ltd was founded as an ABB Drives Distributor in 1999 by Blaise Ford, and has grown to be one of the UK's largest ABB AVP's (Authorised Value Provider). We are focused simply on the sales, supply, Installation, commissioning, service, hire, repairs and maintenance of ABB inverters and motors. Inverter Drive Systems Ltd has its origins in Wilson Ford Ltd in Nottingham who, under the guidance of Blaise Ford, started as an ABB inverter distributor in 1994. In 1999, IDS was established in Wilford, Nottingham where the company flourished. In 2010, IDS moved into a new industrial unit on Quarry Hill Industrial Estate near Ilkeston, Derbyshire. This is on the old Stanton Staveley iron works site. Nowadays we are 16 strong comprising 7 installation / service engineers, 4 in technical sales and 4 who run the business in the office. Inverters can be a technical product so we offer our customers genuine 24/7 support on technical issues, stock access and breakdowns.
