Boiler maker Vaillant has partnered with the UK Plumbing Supplies brands, in a bid to support local communities.

Until 30th September every purchase of an ecoTEC plus boiler will see a donation from GB Willbond, HPS, Plumbcity, Plumbstop, Plumbstore, UK-PS, MDS, Plumbase, Gas Centre or Michael Pavis Ltd, matched by Vaillant, to a local food bank, chosen by the contributing depot.

Steve Wimbledon, commercial director at UK Plumbing Supplies says: “Our businesses are integral to their local communities. It’s been an extremely tough year and food banks are becoming increasingly important to families and individuals alike. Supporting local people in conjunction with a household brand such as Vaillant gives us all an opportunity to give something back to the people who live closest to us.”

Spencer Clark, commercial director at Vaillant adds: “Supporting installers is at the forefront of everything we do, and we’re thrilled to be able to extend this support to our merchant partners, in a bid to raise money for local communities. It’s a great cause and one that we’re really proud to be a part of.”

Throughout this period, Vaillant’s regional business managers will also host localised events and activities at merchant branches around the UK, to help raise further funds by hosting fun activities, exclusive giveaways and a prize draw offering one lucky installer the chance to win an ecoTEC plus 10-year guarantee bundle, including a boiler, an intuitive internet connect control, a boiler protection kit and a clothing and merchandise bundle.
