Heating parts are the focus at this company, including brands such as Worcester Bosch and Intergas. The business also runs bathroom showrooms, into which it has incorporated virtual reality technology, and helps business clients introduce renewable energy sources such as biomass boilers and solar panels. Founder and managing director John Savage, 39, opened the first branch in Gateshead in 2011. The company now has nine branches in northern England and three in Scotland. This year saw the business move to new headquarters in Tyne and Wear and make sales of £20.1m. It plans to expand southwards.
