freedomhp.co.uk About us
Freedom Heat Pumps was founded to fulfil a need in the UK market for sound, knowledgeable technical support. We pride ourselves on supplying the right heat pump product for the individual project, delivered at the right time, backed up with the right training and the right technical support.
Our achievements
We are one of the largest distributors of heat pumps in the UK, the sole distributor of the Midea brand and the only distributor offering technical support from the start of the customer project to the on-site installation. All the above has enabled us to react and grow, trebling turnover and employee numbers over the past year. However, we remain focussed on maintaining our small business mentality: the team spirit and the personalised customer interaction, that have been key to our performance and development and therefore will remain key to the future success.
Why we’re looking forward to the Red Rose Awards
Being a finalist has given our team the public recognition they deserve. It’s going to be an exciting night and we are looking forward to meeting the other finalists and their teams. Good luck to all!

About us
GA is a family-owned and run private label pet food manufacturer, creating recipes using the finest raw materials sourced from farms and fisheries that we know and trust. Our partners are traditional pet shops and pet food brands that use these recipes with great success in the market.
Our achievements
GA Pet food Partners started in 1992 with five colleagues and has grown to more than 800 employees with a turnover of £137m. We have ambitious plans to generate all our own renewable energy and feel it’s vital to work with local neighbours to build a sustainable business. We swim against the short-termism tide prevalent in the pet sector to provide sustainable solutions for small pet shops throughout Europe. We act local but think global.
Why we’re looking forward to the Red Rose Awards
We are looking forward to an evening that celebrates local businesses and their contribution to the success of Lancashire and beyond. It is also a great opportunity to celebrate with a few members of our team who all work tremendously hard to deliver success for both GA and our valued partners.
