ESBE sponsored an annual heating and renewables symposium, which took place at the Sutton Coldfield premises of Tesla Plumbing and Heating on 24 January.
Darren Myers, ESBE’s managing director, welcomed the attendees and introduced two of his associates, one of whom gave a technical talk on applications of different ESBE’s products applicable to heat pump installation.
Warmur, which is responsible for organising the events, also played an active part in proceedings.
Kim Betty, the symposium’s founder, said: “These courses are run for plumbing and heating engineers who are at the very top of their game but still keen to learn more – especially about hydronics because that is the key to ensuring heat pumps operate efficiently. Importantly these annual meetings are intended to provide the attendees with the sort of training they want, rather than just going to some place that is offering standard training.
“Then having consulted the members prior to the latest meeting I spoke to several of the lads who had been out to Sweden to visit ESBE and who regard the place as an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ of technical solutions so I contacted Darren to help ensure more of them could get to understand the products, and to ensure the installation gets the best of their performance potential. Having run a company called the Heat Academy Northampton for the past seven years, I have come to specialise in hydronics and to realise that the reasons so many heat pump installations are not successful is that few people understand hydronics.
“The 27 installers who attended the meeting at Tesla Plumbing and Heating’s premises in Sutton Coldfield in January came from as far away as Edinburgh, down to Devon and the South-East and have all taken part in my courses in the past, so they were keen to hear more from ESBE.”
Darren added: “As a supplier of high-quality products including valves, circulation units and many more, we are committed to helping our stockists and installer customer base offer the best standards of service possible, which must include raising training standards and awareness of good practice. We were very pleased to be involved with this premier industry event.”
