'Build a boiler' day at clay cross breaks the mould

Published: 01-12-2016

One lucky installer has been given a feel for life on the production line at our specialist oil boiler facility in Clay Cross, Derbyshire.

• Neil Pleasant was invited to take part in our Build a Boiler day at Clay Cross
• All of our Greenstar gas and oil boilers awarded Which? Best Buy status for 2016

Cambridge-based installer Neil Pleasants (The Heating Company), was invited to test his skills on the factory floor having taken top prize in the Oil Installation category of our Environment 2020 Awards for his year-long transformation of a farmhouse heating system in Cambridgeshire.

Following the success of the Build a Boiler day at our factory in Worcester earlier this year, Neil was given a full tour of the factory’s press shop, paint shop and weld area. He was then put to work on the oil boiler track where our Which Best Buy award winning boilers are made, getting a feel for the hard work that goes into every one of our appliances.

Neil Pleasants, of The Heating Company, Cambridge, commented: “Our work split has gone from being around 30% oil to more like 60%, so it was fantastic to get a feel for what goes into the boilers before we get our hands on them.”
