Role and responsibilities

In his new role as Northern Heat Pump Specialist, Andy will focus on liaising with consultants to provide expert selection and design support for Lochinvar’s range of heat pump and renewable products. He will work closely with our Area Sales Managers to support heat pump projects and ensure specifications across the North are delivered with the most effective solutions to meet client needs.

As part of this technical sales position, he will also collaborate with key industry stakeholders — including major contractors and clients — to build strong relationships and deliver in-depth technical assistance throughout the development of project plans and proposals.

James Cooper, Renewables Manager at Lochinvar, said: “It’s an exciting period for Lochinvar as we see growing demand for our decarbonisation solutions.

Andy’s experience makes him an excellent fit for the role, and we’re confident he’ll settle in quickly.”

Andy said: “Lochinvar has always been a brand I have admired, they stand for quality, great customer service with a solid product offering. I used them a lot when I was a contractor. The role is exciting as heat pumps are the future for our industry as we drive towards net-zero ambitions. Lochinvar’s heat pumps are excellent, but the service offered by the technical support team is what makes the company truly market leading!”
