On 9th June 2026, more than 130 industry professionals joined us at Mercedes Benz World in Weybridge for our Sustainability Expo, a day dedicated to exploring the future of sustainable heating through innovation, insight and collaboration.
As part of Groupe Atlantic’s ongoing commitment to supporting the industry transition towards net zero, the event brought together expertise from Keston, ACV UK, Ideal Commercial Heating, Hamworthy Heating and Clade, alongside valued partners FLEXJ and Adey Commercial.
Set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most iconic engineering venues, the event provided guests with the opportunity to hear from industry experts, explore the latest technologies and gain valuable technical knowledge through a programme of CIBSE-approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars.
Following a welcome address from Groupe Atlantic’s Darren Finley, guests heard from Chris Caton, Product Director for Commercial at Groupe Atlantic UK, ROI and North America, who delivered a keynote presentation focused on sustainable heating and the role hybrid systems, heat pumps and low-carbon hot water technologies will play in the future built environment.
Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to take part in four new CIBSE-approved CPD seminars, delivered by technical experts from across the Groupe Atlantic portfolio, with an impressive 277 hours of training completed.
CPD topics included low carbon hybrid heating system considerations, commercial DHW systems now and in the future, the role of heat exchangers in generating hot water from air source heat pumps and natural refrigerant heat pump technology.
Alongside seminars, guests were also able to meet product specialists and explore a dedicated exhibition area showcasing over 25 products from the brands, including three new product launches. On display from Keston were the Combi 2 with High Rise Flue Kit and the Heat 2 boiler with Plate Heat Exchange Package both featuring twin flue configurations.
In addition to product specialists, members of our Research & Development team, Group Commercial Service Division and Expert Training Academy were on hand to speak to guests.
Beyond the buzz of the seminar rooms and exhibition stands, guests also had the chance to put their driving skills to the test in our F1 simulator zones and compete in a Scalextric challenge, with plenty of prizes up for grabs. Congratulations to our winning drivers!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. It was fantastic to catch up with so many familiar faces, make new connections and share the latest innovations from across our brands. We look forward to continuing to support the industry as it embraces the next generation of sustainable commercial heating and hot water solutions.
