Senior staff from the Swedish parent company of ESBE opened the company’s new headquarters at the end of February, located in Rossendale.
Darren Myers, ESBE’s newly appointed managing director, and Nigel Raper, technical manager, welcomed Peter Cerny, ESBE AB’s chief executive officer, along with Jorgen Thelin, the manufacturer’s sales director.
Darren said: “We have been around in the UK for many years, but with the official opening of the new subsidiary and headquarters in Rossendale we celebrate an exciting new journey.”
Peter added: “It’s been a long journey, but the result is fantastic. I am so proud of all that has been accomplished by Darren and the team around him.”
The official part of the day ended when Darren was presented with a novel trophy by the Swedish contingent which consisted of an ESBE brass valve, mounted on a polished wooden base and carries the signatures of the half dozen ESBE AB staff who made the journey over from the factory and offices in Reftele.
Darren said: “The big objective I have had over the past couple of years has been to increase specifiers and installers’ knowledge to ensure the right product is being put into the different situations. his particularly applies to the heat pump market where you need a full flow valve, which is why we work with the top distributors to get the message out, and why we’ve done a massive amount on social media.
“We see this being fully reflected in the use of renewables for housebuilding – as well as the schools and other community buildings needed alongside new towns and villages: which creates new opportunities for us.”
