Vaillant, the leading heating manufacturer with a history dating back 150 years, is the latest in a growing community of plumbing and heating specialists to join the BMF.
One of the largest manufacturers of gas boilers, heat pumps and cylinders in the UK, Vaillant reports having over 21,500 active installers and a nationwide distribution network. Supporting the development and promotion of heat pumps in both new-build and retrofit projects, the supplier has invested in new production lines and specialised training programmes that can train thousands of installers annually through its nationwide network of high-quality training centres.
Mark Wilkins, Technology & Solutions Portfolio Director, said: “We aim to be the market leader in delivering the best customer experience in sustainable heating and hot water solutions and services. Leading the transition to cleaner, low-carbon solutions involves training installers in new skills and strengthening relationships with key suppliers.
“BMF membership is important to us as it offers an ideal platform for collaboration across the supply chain to achieve common goals.”
BMF CEO John Newcomb added: “Plumbing and Heating is an important sector within the BMF, with 25% of our supplier members categorised as P&H specialists and 70% of our merchant members stocking or specialising in these products. We are delighted to welcome Vaillant to membership and look forward to working with them and supporting them through dedicated forums, publications, and research.”
