Daikin merchant opens 4th Sustainable Home Centre

James Hargreaves’ sales director Gary Beaumont cuts the tape with councillor Israr Ahmed

UK: Daikin has opened a further Sustainable Home Centre, its fourth in partnership with independent plumbers’ merchant James Hargreaves.

The new centre in Bradford joins a Daikin network of more than 40 Sustainable Home Centres in the UK.

Visitors will have the opportunity to view the heat pumps and technology up close. In addition to serving as a showroom, the centre also functions as a training facility and a stockist for installers transitioning to renewable energy technologies.

“It’s truly fantastic to see our fourth Sustainable Home Centre opening its doors within a James Hargreaves Plumbing Supplies branch, this time in Bradford,” said James Hargreaves’ sales director Gary Beaumont.

“This centre makes it simple and straightforward for our installers to develop their heat pump skills and get hands-on with the latest technology. Plus, it gives homeowners a chance to see these environmentally friendly heating solutions up close and understand the benefits for themselves.”
