Contractor focus MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE
1 million reasons to choose the best
There are many types of pressure independent balancing and control valves (PIBCV) on the market, but the Danfoss AB-QM is still a market leading technology. With the most experience in producing reliable and precise automatic solutions, we are also the only manufacturer to off er PIBCVs up to size DN250.

Borahurst director Andy Hall marked 35 years at the company by abseiling down Portsmouth’s 170 metre Spinnaker Tower on behalf of the CLIC Sargent children’s cancer charity. Andy, who had never abseiled before, hopes to raise £1,500.
rapport with the client to maintain good working relationships. The back room support team in both administration roles and accounts is crucial to the ongoing success of the business and Duncan Jee paid tribute to “our very able accounts manager Sandra, who keeps a firm hand on the bank account and ensures cash flow predictions and pay- ments are made in good time”. Paperwork and administration is a headache to any small or medium sized business, particu- larly the documentation involved in pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ). A significant amount of time in the administration depart- ment is taken up with this task together with the information required for Construction line, CHAS etc registration. There is also an increasing administrative burden associated with regula- tions like F-Gas, and “the fact this is not properly policed is particu- larly galling”, he adds.
The ban on the use of R22 as a top up refrigerant, which comes into force later this year, means demand for reclaimed R22 is like- ly to outstrip supply levels before
January. Borahurst has continued to raise this issue with new and existing clients so as they can consider their options “sooner rather than later”.
The administrative burden car- ried by contractors – particularly in connection with PQQ – and the failure of public authorities to enforce hard fought for legislation like F-Gas and mandatory air con- ditioning inspections are priority campaigning issues for B&ES. Borahurst, as a long standing mem- ber, is playing its part in backing the association’s efforts to address this through higher professional standards supported by legislation. However, the company is also keen that the sector should not focus solely on the negatives. “Yes, there are shortfalls in this industry and it has become much more of a daunting administrative role to the business in recent years, but we still love it and are passionate about what we do,” says Caroline.
“The success of the company is a tribute to how hard everyone has worked over the past 37 years and our determination to keep growing into the future.”
