The proposed facility forms part of a wider £60m investment programme by Ideal Heating across the Hull site to increase manufacturing and distribution capacity and accommodate heat pump production and warehousing.

Ideal Heating is also investing in a new National Training & Technology Centre at Bridgehead business park in East Yorkshire, with a focus on low-carbon heating and up-skilling thousands of boiler installers across the UK to supply heat pumps to customers.
