The company, based in South Gloucestershire, has created several positions in the sales, technical and administration departments to provide additional support and expertise after experiencing an increase in demand for biomass since the launch of the government’s domestic RHI scheme in early 2014.
Windhager has experienced a significant growth in sales in both the domestic and commercial markets which has required additional support from the sales team and as a result has appointed two new areas sales representatives for Wales and the South East of England.
Leigh Williams joins Windhager with 26 years’ experience in the heating industry working with many of the big companies and has been dedicated to the renewables market for the past ten years.
Leigh holds a diploma in sales management and will take charge of all sales activities in Wales where he will be locally based to ensure that all customers’ needs are prioritised.

Mark comes to Windhager with over ten years of experience within the construction and heating industry which included running his own company. Mark also has an extensive knowledge of CAD design which he gained through his mechanical engineering background.
For the past five years Windhager has always offered free product and biomass training to installers across the UK, hosted at its headquarters in South Gloucestershire. This has proved to be extremely popular amongst installers and with the launch of the Windhager Installer Network scheme is expected to continue to be much in demand. With this Windhager has employed Paris Meakin as the company’s training administrator who will work on co-ordinating all Windhager and HETAS training courses.
