With a commendable track record as leading innovators and experts in insulation , Powertherm Contract Services Ltd ( Powertherm ) has established itself as an industry frontrunner renowned for its commitment to delivering top-notch quality . Emerging from its roots within coalfired power stations in the UK , Powertherm has transformed into a versatile service provider offering a wide range of specialist solutions that synergistically add value to one another . Paul Ashton , Managing Director , unravels the company ’ s evolution .
“ Founded in 1989 , we were initially established as an insulation contracting business known as Powertherm Contracts Insulation Ltd , primarily operating within the coal fired power generation industry . Currently , Powertherm provides a suite of services that support our work in both major construction and maintenance projects such as scaffold access , electrical trace heating , industrial coatings , and refractory lining . These services can be offered either separately or as part of a package , and offering this degree of adaptability can bring numerous advantages to our clients .
“ Currently , business is thriving , and I see this continuing well into the future . The ongoing energy security issues , combined with the UK government ’ s commitment to achieve net-zero by 2050 , have created unprecedented prospects for our sector and , when you consider aspects such as energy security , carbon reduction , and energy efficiency , insulation emerges as a crucial element . While this is advantageous for our business , it also comes with the added benefit that we are making a meaningful and positive environmental impact ,” he begins .
