Wolseley acquires renewable equipment company

UK: The Wolseley Group has announced the acquisition of Renewable Equipment Solutions (RES), the Yeovil-based designer and supplier of bespoke domestic and commercial renewable equipment. 

Wolseley says the addition of RES will enhance strategic growth, whilst enabling it to expand within the renewables space. 

RES is an MCS-accredited renewable equipment specialist. Working with the trade, they supply a complete range of renewable and energy-efficient technologies, including air-source, ground-source and air-to-air heat pumps, either as a standalone or fully integrated renewables package. 

“Adding RES to our group of brands is essential for us to be successful in supporting our customers moving towards environmentally friendly products,” said Simon Gray, Wolseley Group CEO. “Our recent launch of Renewables by Wolseley is pivotal to this acquisition.” 

RES will retain its brand identity with MD Shane Oxberry remaining with the business.
