The introduction of all VES products to the market is preceded by a rigorous research and development( R & D) process. Kevin shares insights into the company’ s approach to creating innovative products.“ Our approach is twofold: we foster partnerships with end users and contractors to develop specific solutions, particularly within the education sector, and we are driven by new technologies and evolving industry regulations. Our objective is always to exceed any minimum directives and regulatory standards. There are many other ways we look at R & D, such as by exploring new materials, as our goal is to enable process efficiencies and reduce the overall carbon footprint associated with the products we manufacture.
“ All of our products are designed with energy efficiency at their core. Notably, we consider how our products impact end users’ energy consumption by optimizing their operational performance and recovering heat from the rooms in which they operate. At the
moment, we are developing some new heat recovery products, though they are still in the early concept stage with the aim of improving performance beyond current benchmarks, ensuring these solutions are future-proofed for years to come.”
For its focus on innovation, VES was recently awarded the Solent SME Growth 100’ s Entrepreneurial Business of the Year award, of which Kevin is extremely proud.“ Winning the award was linked to our reinvention of traditional solutions through the technology of our AirDoor. It has caught significant attention from major retailers as it allows them to explore new initiatives to reduce energy consumption and reduce costs in their large stores. Marking a shift away from their traditional energy-saving methods, our technology has given retailers a new perspective on how to save energy, particularly in heating and temperature control. We plan to continue investing in AirDoor to expand its reach in the wider
