“It’s an exciting period for Lochinvar as we see growing demand for our decarbonisation solutions,” said James Cooper, Renewables Manager at Lochinvar. “Andy’s experience makes him an excellent fit for the role, and we’re confident he’ll settle in quickly.”

In his new role, Sims will focus on consultant engagement, providing expert selection and design support for Lochinvar’s heat pump and renewable product portfolio. He will work closely with Area Sales Managers to ensure specifications across the North are delivered with optimal solutions tailored to client needs.

Sims will also collaborate with major contractors and clients to offer in-depth technical assistance throughout project planning and proposal development.

“Lochinvar has always been a brand I’ve admired,” said Sims. “Heat pumps are the future of our industry as we drive towards net-zero ambitions. Lochinvar’s products are excellent, but it’s the technical support team that makes the company truly market leading.”
