In 2026, we at Crest, alongside our sister company ABS, are proud to mark a major milestone,10 years serving the Elland and Halifax communities. Over the past decade, our journey has been shaped by the incredible support of local businesses, clients, and neighbours, and we want to give something meaningful back.
A Decade Rooted in Local Connections
ABS was founded by John Lees over 35 years ago, and the company is still run by his sons Paul and David Lees. Crest IT Solutions was acquired in 2018, and from the start, our mission has been about more than just managed print and IT services. Over ten years in Elland, we’ve built strong relationships across the community and grown alongside the people we serve.
As Paul says:
“The support we’ve received from our local community has been incredible. Celebrating 10 years is our way of giving back to the charities that do so much for people here every day.”
Making a Difference Through the ABS Foundation
To mark this anniversary, we’re directing funding through the ABS Foundation, our company’s charitable arm, to help local charities and organisations in Elland and Halifax.
David explains:
“Our focus has always been on more than just business. This milestone is the perfect opportunity to make a positive impact in the community we’re proud to be part of.”
By supporting these organisations, we hope to contribute to meaningful projects and make a real difference for the people around us.
Looking Forward
Reaching 10 years, in one location, is a moment to celebrate, but it’s also a time to look ahead. As we enter our next decade, our commitment to supporting local businesses and charities remains stronger than ever. We’re excited to continue growing alongside the communities we serve.
