Company Description
We're the nation's favourite heating brand, here to warm up people's homes, lives, and futures.
From boilers, hybrids and heat pumps to solar thermal and smart controls, we're giving our customers plenty of choice. With cutting-edge tech and research, we're right in the thick of the drive for a better future of home heating.
It's not all tools and tech. People are the real heart of our company.

We work hard, we work together, and we work with a cause – delivering brilliant customer support and exceptional engineering.
As an organisation of more than 1,600 employees, we also take our role in the communities we serve seriously. From giving away free heating systems for community spaces, to our charity, education, and volunteer work – we're no strangers to rolling our sleeves up, getting stuck in, and helping out.
If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, we'd love to meet you.
