About us:
As experts in heat pumps and decarbonisation, Kimpton are on the front-line in the race to net-zero. We've been delivering M&E infrastructure, Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning services and Commercial Office fit outs across the Liverpool City Region since 1963.
Our clients include Merseyside's largest employers across every sector including Unilever, Walkers Crisps, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Radisson and Hilton Hotels, Kraft Heinz, Daresbury Laboratories, Liverpool Hope University. We also look after the entire M&S Bank Arena campus – the hosts of Eurovision 2023.
We deliver the Hard FM services across the entire ACC Liverpool campus which includes Exhibition Centre Liverpool and The M&S Bank Arena.
We installed the water and gas pipe network at Liverpool One, a 1.65million sq ft open-air complex of 170 stores, bars and restaurants, cinema and hotel – one of Europe's leading retail and leisure destinations.
We're carrying out a £9m upgrade and refurbishment of the HVAC systems and offices throughout The Capital Building on the Strand, the largest Grade A office space in Liverpool, housing The Home Office and Crown Commercial Services.
We're delivering large-scale residential schemes all over the UK and have delivered more student accommodation in Liverpool than any other M&E contractor. We maintain some of the University of Liverpool's largest purpose-built accommodation buildings.
It's because we have always been innovators in HVAC, and this thinking continues to the present day. For many, Heat Pump technology is new, but here at Kimpton, we installed our first heat pumps back in the 1970's for Walkers Crisps and Golden Wonder. They were used to keep stocks of potatoes fresh and dry and were an innovative technology that would go on to save many £000's in fuel costs and even more in carbon saving.
We have continued to be at the forefront of heat pump system design and have gained many years of expertise in their design and installation since those early days.
This culture of innovation has led to the delivery of two other UK firsts in renewable technology – we designed and installed the UK's first tidal water source heat pumps in open sea at Plas Newydd, Anglesey for the National Trust and installed one of the UK's first Transpired Solar Collectors with TATA steel at the SBEC Building on Deeside.
