Kensa proud to be Made in Britain

Made in Britain logoUK: A strong advocate of British engineering, Kensa Heat Pumps, has joined the campaign to champion British industry as part of a major re-brand.

The Made In Britain campaign aims to “enable customers to identify British made products, supporting & promoting British manufacturing in the UK and overseas”.

“We have found that the significance of a British made product is a huge attraction to Kensa customers,” explains Kensa marketing manager Stephanie Gregory. “By aligning ourselves with a national campaign this provides us with a recognisable marque to easily communicate our heritage and place of manufacture, as well as demonstrate our support for a British fulfilment channel and commitment to British engineering at its best.”

Marking its 15th year as a British manufacturer, Kensa Heat Pumps has completed a group restructure, company re-brand and new website, in a bid to prepare the company for what it believes will be the ‘most influential and significant of its history’.

“The launch of the domestic RHI and clarification of tariffs for the non-domestic RHI, coupled with opportunities through the Green Deal and ECO, should ensure that 2014/15 will be the most significant in the history of the ground-source heat pump market, and Kensa intends to be at the forefront of innovating and delivering solutions that enable our customers to get the most in return. The timing of our 15th anniversary could not be more apt – we hope this will be a year to celebrate!”
