Kooltech is opening a new branch in Bar Hill near Cambridge which will create several new jobs in the area.
The UK wholesaler and distributer of air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump solutions opened the branch this week. Visitors will be given the opportunity to meet the new branch team and suppliers, benefit from special one-off trade deals and enjoy a hog roast.
The new building will have a trade counter, offices and a warehouse. They will supply Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning and sustainable heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, and associated installation and service materials to specialist contractors in the area. Expanding Kooltech’s range of heat pumps, sustainable heating and cooling solutions will help accelerate the region’s transition to net zero.
Stephen Challis, Kooltech area product sales manager, said: “This is good news for local tradespeople. The Bar Hill trading estate is well connected to major roads, and everything is brand new.
“Our market-leading Mitsubishi Electric equipment, including cutting-edge commercial heat pumps, installation and service materials will be available either for collection from the trade counter, or delivery.”
The Bar Hill premise, just off the M11 and A14, is part of a wider investment by Kooltech in East Anglia.
Kooltech commercial director, Jonathan Brown, said: “Non-domestic buildings account for around 22% of emissions from buildings and 4% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions. The UK, and the East Anglia region, cannot hit our collective net zero targets without sustainable commercial heating solutions and this facility has the potential to boost the rollout of commercial heat pumps in the area.”
The full address of the new trading location is Kooltech Ltd, Unit 1A, Gateway, Bar Hill, Cambridge CB23 8SQ.
