Oil and LPG business DCC Energy has acquired Leicester-based renewable energy technologies company UFW, which will sit alongside Flogas in its portfolio.
The acquisition means that renewable energy solutions are now available to Flogas customers, including solar technologies, heat pumps, underfloor heating and rain water harvesting systems.

Lee Gannon, sales and marketing director at Flogas, said: 'UFW is a well respected and trusted UK brand and it will continue to operate under its existing name. managing director Nigel Parkes and commercial director Tony Fitzwilliams will continue to expand and develop the company under its new ownership.'

Meanwhile, Flogas has appointed Graham Sargent as national domestic central heating manager and Stewart Kendrick as domestic sales manager for the West Midlands region.

The appointments signal an expansion of the existing team with the new roles being filled by internal candidates.
