Heatline Radiators has appointed David Ward as national sales manager and Bruce Sweeney as northern regional sales manager.

Both have previous experience with the brand and return from sojourns at Ariston and Kartell UK, respectively.

Mr Ward and Mr Sweeney join Nigel Burton in the South to re-develop the brand after a two-year hiatus following Vaillant UK’s withdrawal from radiator distribution.

Mr Ward said: “I’m delighted to be back, and to be associated with such a strong radiator brand. We look forward to re-introducing independent merchants to a product that has been missed in the marketplace.”
