Government backing has strengthened Groupe Atlantic’ s sustainability mission. The £ 5.2 million in funding was awarded through the Heat Pump Investment Accelerator Competition, established to support UK heat pump production.
As Jason explains, this backing has reinforced Groupe Atlantic’ s leading role in the heating transition:“ That kind of direct investment in manufacturing infrastructure sends a clear signal to industry that the transition is real and supported.”
Guided by the vision of a low-carbon future, Groupe Atlantic looks forward to its next chapter. Over the next 12 months, the UKTC will become fully operational, ushering in a period of accelerated technological advancement.
The company’ s training infrastructure is expanding, and its product portfolio across
Ideal Heating, Gledhill, Hamworthy and Clade brands is stronger than it’ s ever been. And all of this is while the business retains its position as the UK’ s domestic and commercial boiler market leader.
Looking further ahead, Jason considers what’ s next for the business:“ We’ re building on the same foundations that made us industry leaders in boiler systems- product quality, customer and installer support, training, and second-to-none service.
“ Our UKTC supports the development of innovative, high-performing products that will help deliver a better future for everyone. The UK heating market will look fundamentally different in five years, and we intend to be at the forefront of it- just as we have been for the past 120 years,” he concludes. ■
