Cool-Therm has opened a new South of England office to serve the growing London, South East and Home Counties market.
The new branch is located at East Malling Business Centre and will be headed by Steve Soffe, southern region manager. Cool-Therm, with its headquarters in Bristol, now operates five branches across the UK, the others being in Cardiff, Reading, Birmingham and Manchester.
The new branch has got off to a flying start, recently securing in excess of £1.5m worth of chiller orders. This includes orders for nine Turbomiser chillers for a data centre, three Turbomisers for a commercial building, two bespoke ultra low-noise chillers for a multi-storey residential development, and a chiller for a replacement project at a Hilton Hotel in central London.
Managing director Ken Strong said: “London and some surrounding areas are undergoing something of a mini-boom, with significant opportunities for both new and replacement air conditioning projects. Our new office is ideally located to serve our expanding customer base in the region.”
He continued: “Multi-storey developments planned for the former industrial areas alongside the Thames are particularly exciting, as they include both high-end residential apartments and associated retail and leisure developments, all requiring air conditioning. Given sensitivity to noise for such inner city projects, our proven low noise, low energy Turbomiser is an extremely attractive solution.”
The company has recently developed an ultra-low noise version of its already-quiet Turbomiser, capable of operating down to 51dBA at 10m, which it says makes it one of the quietest chillers in the world.
