Editor’s COMMENT
PLUMBING & HEATING
ISSUE 119 - MAY/JUNE 2024
Information, innovation and inspiration to take your business to the next level As this magazine goes to print, the KMP team is hitting the road for Limerick, where PLUMBEX is heading for the first time. Already well established in Dublin and Belfast, the two-day Limerick event marks the trade show’s first time in the Midwest of Ireland. We’re looking forward to catching up with many of our readers, and hope you find the show to be a great resource of information, innovation and inspiration to take your business to the next level. And hopefully our May/June edition will serve the same purpose, with our features including Boilers, Pipes, Valves & Fittings and Pumps & Circulators.
Energy efficiency is, of course, a unifying factor spanning the latest product launches and much of the news in this edition from OFTEC calling for greater support for biofuels to NICEIC urging heating and plumbing engineers in Northern Ireland to upskill in low- carbon energy solutions. While NI is playing catch up to a more mature renewables market in the Republic of Ireland, solutions providers across the island of Ireland are investing in their premises and people to boost their offer from Greenline Plumbing Supplies in Carrick-on Shannon and Heat Merchants Dundalk to Bassetts Newry and MR Mechanical Services in Warrenpoint.
