Support UK Adoption of Low-Carbon Water Heating


Adveco Expands Sales Team to H


ot water specialists Adveco has expanded its sales team with the appointment of Ashleigh Rushton and Will Wright as account sales managers. With


net zero and sustainability now high on the agenda of organisations across the UK’s public and commercial sectors, Adveco is working hard to ensure customers are supported by dedicated specification sales and account sales teams, all backed by in-house application engineers. Prior to joining Adveco’s internal sales team in 2021, Ashleigh Rushton held sales roles at New City Heating and Primaflow F&P. With a broad knowledge of plumbing and in-depth experience leading sales of Adveco’s latest water heating products her promotion to account sales manager for East Anglia and Northern Home Counties was an obvious choice for the company. Will Wright joins the company following formative employment across the construction supply sector, previously working for Hilti Great Britain and MCP Fixings. His sales experience will be vital as he steps up to manage the Northwest and North Wales regions. The Northwest, with numerous ground-breaking construction projects requiring the latest generation of low-carbon water heating, is far better supported moving forward. “Expanding the sales team is a key requirement for strengthening the business for long-term growth,”


says Greg Brushett, Director of Sales, Adveco. “Especially now with the company championing new technologies and extending commercial markets nationwide.” “It’s been important to strike a balance between our seasoned sales engineers and new appointments. The former offer unprecedented experience in the commercial water heating market and are perfectly provisioned to nurture this new talent,” observes Greg. “The promotion of Ashleigh from internal sales to the position of sales account manager is a perfect case in point. We are also extremely pleased to welcome Will as our other new sales account manager. Both come with fresh thinking and opportunities which are driven by a rapidly evolving sales environment that places a focus on attaining net zero in a realistic and cost-effective manner.” Adveco’s sales team is ready to offer the most comprehensive range of products and services for customers seeking products for commercial water heating applications. More importantly, customers have the assurance that they will continue to have access to the specialist technical sales knowledge that sets Adveco apart from other suppliers.

Q-Nect IP junction boxes with semi-transparent lids from Unicrimp


U


nicrimp, part of the Scolmore Group of companies, offers a range of IP66-rated, weatherproof junction boxes with semi-transparent lids. The addition of the semi-transparent lid takes the IP Box to the next level, allowing you to see the inside connections without compromising the


integrity of the enclosure. The Q-Nect IP66 junction box is designed to make installations more efficient. It can house four


of the 3 Port Lever Connectors using the 360° detachable cradle and with a curved lid, it provides additional space for wires. The lid is locked using quarter turn fasteners. The semi-transparent lids are available on the IP66 Weatherproof Enclosure that is furnished with 4 X 3 Way Lever Connectors. The junction box features ten membrane entry points. Protection against moisture and dust is enhanced with the self-sealing membranes which provide a faster and more secure cable entry whilst at the same time maintaining the IP66 rating. Installers have the option of using up to eight M20 cable glands with the junction box. The M20 threaded entries with membrane ensure that the IP rating is maintained without needing to use any tools or locknuts. Multiple fixing options are available – either fixing directly to a wall using four screws into the pre- moulded holes in the base or using the detachable wall clip which requires just two screws. The new junction boxes with semi-transparent lids are available in a black or anthracite grey finish,


with the anthracite grey colour option designed to match the Click Scolmore Aquip66 weatherproof socket and switch enclosures, which are also available with the same semi-transparent lids. A comprehensive Q-Nect brochure can be downloaded from the Unicrimp website – www.unicrimp. com - as well as from the Scolmore Group app.

HAMPSHIRE BASED HYDRONICS SPECIALIST EXPANDING SALES OF ESBE PRODUCTS


he long-standing relationship between ESBE Group, the Swedish manufacturer of hydronics solutions and its Southampton based customer, ESSCO, is flourishing afresh as the latter company settles into new premises offering the space, facilities and location from which it can meet the


increasing demand for its diverse portfolio of products. Significantly, ESSCO was originally established by Doug Stammers, father of current Managing Director, Richard Stammers, for the primary purpose of promoting ESBE in the UK, with the acronymous title standing for ‘ESBE and Stammers Company’. It has been a symbiotic relationship that has expanded in parallel to product development and changing demands from the HVAC sector. Its new HQ, on a business park three miles from the centre of Southampton, extends to 16,000 sq.


ft. over two floors with office and assembly as well as dispatch space, while the meeting room proudly displays the company’s business values and distinct branding. In terms of business units, ESSCO has its EPV department headed up by Alan Pill and Wing Mo who


are experts in their field and an energy business supporting clients delivering communal heating systems: to whom ESSCO supplies its own high performance HIUs or heat interface units featuring ESBE valves. Then ESSCO also fabricates what are considered to be the best value utility cupboards on the market, providing a compact solution to a burgeoning demand for offsite fabrication. According to Commercial Director, Matt Lowe: “All our activity relates to the control and flow of water


- mainly in the HVAC industry - but also across the process and petrochemical industries and we serve customers all over the UK and Ireland. Our Fit & Forget commitment relates primarily to our UFH pump packs that we sell to specialist companies in the sector. This market is all about dependable products and technical support, so we only work with manufacturers who care about their products and the ESBE range of VTG mixing valves is hugely important to the success of this part of the business.” “Historically ESBE is a bulletproof brand making great products. They know their stuff and support us


well with technical knowledge and good customer service. We are proud to be the UK distributor of a quality brand such as ESBE.” Darren Myers, the recently appointed Sales Director for ESBE for the UK and Ireland, commented:


“As a manufacturer we have enjoyed a long and successful association with ESSCO and believe that the investment they have made in their stunning new premises will see them go from strength to strength.” Looking to the future, Matt Lowe said: “We are an acquisitive company, so we will look out for opportunity to bring businesses into ESSCO that enhance what we currently do. Under each of our business units, we have plans to grow organically, these plans will always be driven by developing and selling products that support our customers to do their jobs well.”
