Wolseley bolsters renewables creds
Wolseley has ramped up its renewables expertise with the acquisition of RES (Renewable Equipment Solutions). The merchant says the addition will boost its growth by enabling it to expand in the renewables arena.
RES is an MCS-accredited renewable equipment specialist. It supplies renewable and energy-efficient technologies for homes and businesses, either standalone or as fully integrated package.
Chief executive officer Simon Gray says: “Adding RES to our group of brands is essential for us to be successful in supporting our customers moving towards environmentally friendly products. Our recent launch of Renewables by Wolseley is pivotal to this acquisition.”
RES will continue to operate with its own identity. Its managing director Shane Oxberry says: “We are delighted to be joining forces with the Wolseley Group, which presents an incredible opportunity for RES to scale our impact and drive the adoption of renewable energy solutions across the UK. We share a common vision for a sustainable future and customer satisfaction. Together we will achieve remarkable advancements in the renewables sector.”
