Thanks to Erdem Baldudak, the CEO of Heating Trade Supplies, a proudly North East based business who invited me on a tour of their factory as they celebrate their 10th anniversary.
As a leading provider of sustainable boiler spare parts and a pioneer in the circular economy for the heating sector, the business has a big impact on the local economy.
It was good to hear how they have helped over 100,000 low-income households, delivering £15 million in total savings by providing affordable refurbished parts.
Heating Trade Supplies also employ over 40 local staff and continue to invest in job creation, training, and community support.
