Heat Merchants’ relocation of its Dundalk site marks the latest in a series of investments by the leading supplier of heating, plumbing and renewable energy solutions for domestic and commercial projects. Dundalk is now the largest branch in the country, with over 2,000 sqft of floor space and 4,000sqft of warehouse space. Since its acquisition by Wolseley in 2022, Heat Merchants Group - which includes Heat Merchants, Bathroom Merchants and Tubs & Tiles - has been transformed. Wolseley’s strategic growth drive aims to ensure the company is

the service-led partner of choice for trade professionals and is key to its investment strategy in Heat Merchants. This investment in its people, the branch network and the logistics infrastructure will help Heat Merchants Group realise its ambitious growth plans. • Heat Merchants branches around the country have been completely rejuvenated with the roll out of a new-look branch model which was designed by interior Architect Tess Stanford. The design was carefully considered to provide customers with a fresh new look while also

streamlining the product displays and improving operational efficiency of the branches. • Bathroom Merchants, the new brand within the group, was launched in 2023 following extensive investment in product sourcing and new product development. • Two of the three new installer training centres are already completed in Naas and Cork city with the third planned facility expected in the coming months. These facilities are used to provide manufacturer training in new products and Level 1 and 2 training on the Panasonic range of heat pumps.

“This investment will help Heat Merchants Group realise its ambitious growth plans.”
