“ Today, almost 60 years later, I’ m leading the business and representing my family’ s third generation. Byworth now offers what we call the full boiler lifecycle; we have a comprehensive range of steam and hot water boilers, but we can also design bespoke boilers to meet specific customer needs.

“ We’ re not just a business, but a partner to our customers throughout the boiler lifespan,” he states.“ We offer training, spare parts, and advice on efficiency to ensure safe compliance and optimal longterm performance.

As the industry shifts towards greener solutions in pursuit of a more sustainable future, Byworth is leading the way in meeting these environmental challenges.“ Through engineering design, we’ ve made some dimensional changes to our products to allow for a more generous furnace size, which reduces the furnace heat release rate and lowers the flue gas emissions,” Robert explains.“ We’ re working closely with our burner suppliers to shift towards greener options and we’ re also exploring hydrogen solutions, whether that’ s mixed or pure hydrogen, as well as electric boilers.
“ However, the infrastructure for hydrogen or electric boilers is not yet ready, and while I believe hydrogen boilers have a place in our future, there’ s a lot of work to be done in terms of the grid and the relevant infrastructure before they can be a reliable solution. As we push towards green technologies, we must remember that reducing reliance on fossil fuels is not a quick
