28th October 2024 – APP Wholesale Ltd, the UK’s leading independent distributor and merchant of plumbing, heating products and renewable plumbing products, announces the acquisition of Ultimate Renewables Supplies, one of the country’s premier design and supply specialists in heat pumps and renewable energy solutions.
Merchants and installers will have access to full renewable energy solutions unrivalled in the industry following the acquisition. The portfolio expansion of APP Wholesale Ltd to include Ultimate Renewable Supplies greatly improves the business’s capacity to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources through knowledgeable sales, customised training, and system design.
Neil Lake, Managing Director of APP Wholesale Ltd, commented, “We are thrilled to provide a complete solution that addresses the evolving needs of merchants and installers in the renewable energy sector. Ultimate Renewables Supplies has developed an unparalleled service that we are confident will strengthen market confidence and give our customers the enhanced support they deserve.”
With the acquisition of Ultimate Renewable Supplies, APP Wholesale Ltd is poised to provide its clients with even more value. Their combined expertise and established partnerships create a one-stop destination for renewable energy options: empowering customers throughout this crucial industry shift.
Specialised turnkey design and supply solutions for heat pumps, MVHR, solar PV and battery storage, underfloor heating (UFH), and the MCS Umbrella Scheme will be made available to our customers. In the meantime, current customers of Ultimate Renewables Supplies will continue receiving the reliable services and solutions they have grown to depend on.
Simon Wardle, Sales Director of Ultimate Renewable Supplies commented “We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far in a very short space of time. Our rapid expansion will continue to progress because of this acquisition. Having dealt with APP for several years, I believe that we share the same values and vision on the renewable sector, and being a part of the APP group means that Ultimate Renewables will be able to expand to the size that I genuinely believe it can”
Ultimate Renewables Supplies will remain autonomous within the structure of APP Wholesale Ltd, which encompasses APP Plumbing and Heating and Mr Central Heating. A major turning point in APP’s expansion plan, this acquisition broadens the company’s offering beyond conventional heating systems to include an extensive range of renewable energy options.
To guarantee service and expertise continuity, all members of Ultimate Renewables Supplies’ management team, including Simon Wardle, Sales Director and John McCarthy, Operations Director, will stay on board.
John McCarthy, Operations Director at Ultimate Renewables Supplies said “This next chapter for Ultimate Renewables is something I am really looking forward to. Our team have helped us create a fantastic business working at the cutting edge of renewable technologies, and I believe our continued growth trajectory can be maintained with this integration. APP’s experience, size and resources mean that URS can achieve the vision that Simon and I knew we could one day achieve”.
Through this acquisition, APP Wholesale Ltd reaffirms its dedication to spearheading the renewable energy industry by providing premium products, knowledgeable instruction, and creative design solutions to support merchants and installers in an increasingly competitive market.
Shanker Patel, CEO of Lords Group Trading Ltd (parent company of APP Wholesale Ltd), expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating, “This is a forward-thinking move for APP Wholesale Ltd, positioning the business at the forefront of clean heat transformation in the UK.“
