Cool Designs Ltd, the UK's leading independent air conditioning distributor, has opened a major new branch at Holmes Chapel near Crewe, in the latest stage of the company's ongoing expansion plans.
The new facility, located near the M6, includes a showroom, offices, workshop and conference centre, plus an additional 11,000sq ft of warehouse space, enabling CDL to increase equipment stocks and further enhance support for its rapidly growing customer base in the Midlands and South of England.
Alongside, the company's Warrington branch will become a dedicated air conditioning and heat pump training centre and equipment testing facility. The Toshiba, Carrier, CIAT and Fujitsu distributor has also taken on new sales, office support and warehouse staff to cater for continuing growth.
The new Holmes Chapel site has been equipped with a high efficiency Toshiba VRF system and heat exchangers, ensuring heating and cooling running costs and carbon emissions for the building are minimised.
The move is the latest milestone in a journey that has seen CDL develop from being a small NE regional air conditioning supplier in 2003 to a leading national distributor with a turnover of £28m, supporting customers across the UK.
It has recently expanded from its core area in VRF and split systems into larger applied equipment, such as chillers, air handling units and heat pumps, providing further impetus for growth.
An important part of this is CDL's technical training, designed to equip installers to complete projects and service equipment to the highest standards.
