We’d like to thank all the heating professionals who visited our stand and thoroughly enjoyed discussing how Glow- worm can help you grow your business.” Neil Bunning, commercial director, Glow-worm “We have recently set up a new business, so when we heard about the Heating and Renewables Roadshow, we knew this would be the perfect opportunity to gain as much information about the industry as possible, in order to help our business grow. We certainly left the Roadshow with plenty of information including industry news and new product technologies.” Patrick and Zienna Hall of P&Z Hall Heating and Plumbing “We attended to find out more information about new products in the heating industry, as well as to learn more about the renewables side as this is a possible area that we could expand into. There was a great selection of exhibitors – all very well known in the industry.” Jonathan Yates of Remec Heating Engineers www.renewableenergyinstaller.co.uk | 11
