Magna Heating is celebrating after it was awarded the
prestigious CORGI Installer of the Year: Central England, at a
ceremony held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. The event was hosted
by comedian Stephen K Amos and was attended by many leading figures
from the UK heating industry.
The award was voted for by a panel of heating industry experts
who agreed that Magna Heating, based in Warwick, stood out as
having exceeded the expectations of its customers.
Proprietor Paul Lockyer was presented with the trophy by Craig
Slater, Chairman of CORGI, and Mark Allen of Loctite, who sponsored
the category. Paul said: "We are delighted and proud to be
recognised by the heating industry for the quality of our customer
service and for the high standards of workmanship that we strive to
achieve.
"Magna Heating has been established for over 26 years, and it
has always been our aim to achieve 100 per cent customer
satisfaction. We believe that our customer service is second to
none - we are available 24/7, 365 days a year. Because we do not
subcontract labour but employ local, skilled tradesmen, we can
guarantee every job reaches our high standards and only consider
the job complete when the customer is happy.
"Training is paramount, and we employ apprentices who we support
through Government training schemes. We also provide work
experience opportunities for local young people, to come along and
spend time with our engineers
"We also actively promote gas safety to our customers. When we
visit a home, our engineers advise the householder of the
importance of having boilers serviced annually to keep them in
prime working order. This means they work at maximum efficiency and
are gas safe.
"And, importantly, we believe in supporting the local economy.
As well as having 50 local employees, we also install
Potterton boilers, and other Baxi Group products, which are also
based in Warwick. In fact, I have used Potterton boilers for over
30 years!"
Magna Heating can offer all types of property maintenance, from
replacing a tap washer to complete heating, kitchen and bathroom
refurbishments. As Paul explains, "We really are a 'one stop shop'
for all your maintenance requirements!"
