APP Wholesale acquires Ultimate Renewables

APP Wholesale Ltd, an independent distributor of plumbing, heating, and renewable products in the UK, has acquired Ultimate Renewables Supplies, a design and supply specialist in heat pumps and renewable energy solutions.

App team lined up

This strategic acquisition offers merchants and installers a range of renewable energy options, bolstering APP Wholesale’s commitment to promoting green energy adoption through expert-led sales, tailored training, and comprehensive system design.

A comprehensive solution for industry partners

Neil Lake, managing director of APP Wholesale Ltd, said: “We are thrilled to provide a complete solution that addresses the evolving needs of merchants and installers in the renewable energy sector.

“Ultimate Renewables Supplies has developed an unparalleled service that we are confident will strengthen market confidence and give our customers the enhanced support they deserve.”

With this acquisition, APP Wholesale Ltd aims to become a one-stop destination for renewable energy, integrating a wide array of products, from heat pumps and MVHR to solar PV, battery storage, and underfloor heating (UFH).

The company’s expanded portfolio also includes the MCS Umbrella Scheme, providing installers with comprehensive support as they transition into renewable offerings.

Leadership and continuity for Ultimate Renewables

Ultimate Renewables Supplies will continue to operate autonomously within APP Wholesale Ltd’s framework, which includes brands like APP Plumbing and Heating and Mr Central Heating.

Simon Wardle, sales director of Ultimate Renewables Supplies, shared his enthusiasm: “We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far in a very short space of time.

“Our rapid expansion will continue to progress because of this acquisition. Having dealt with APP for several years, I believe that we share the same values and vision on the renewable sector, and being a part of the APP group means that Ultimate Renewables will be able to expand to the size that I genuinely believe it can.”

John McCarthy, operations director at Ultimate Renewables Supplies, said “This next chapter for Ultimate Renewables is something I am really looking forward to.

“Our team have helped us create a fantastic business working at the cutting edge of renewable technologies, and I believe our continued growth trajectory can be maintained with this integration.

“APP’s experience, size and resources mean that URS can achieve the vision that Simon and I knew we could one day achieve.”

Clean heat transformation

The acquisition highlights APP Wholesale Ltd’s commitment to leading the renewable energy market, providing merchants and installers with premium products, specialised training, and innovative design solutions.

Shanker Patel, CEO of Lords Group Trading Ltd, parent company of APP Wholesale Ltd, commented: “This is a forward-thinking move for APP Wholesale Ltd, positioning the business at the forefront of clean heat transformation in the UK.”
