July 09: Aquisitions XFIRE 1200

A new collaboration between Specflue and Acquisition will have major, unrivalled implications for the industry at large in terms of product quality and installation and support services.

At the hub of this exciting venture is a new balanced flue product designed for the new, ultra-elegant XFIRE 1200 wall mounted gas fire from Acquisition – probably the most respected brand of its kind – and who approached Specflue as the optimum company for exclusive distributorship and advice for the specialist and crucial flue kit. Acquisition is the name of choice for discerning customers, and their fires are specified for numerous VIPs as well as locations as diverse as English Heritage and The White House.

In technical terms, the new balanced flue features a striking design with tight inner connections for superb performance. The low-profile locks and the absence of hems and beads make for a very attractive product to grace any interior. Simply, the outer pipe brings combustion air to the appliance whilst the inner pipe exhausts flue gases to the outside.It is a unitized, coaxial venting system which can be used with aside from fireplaces can be used with direct vent gas or propane stoves and heaters – with choices of component sizes to suit all needs.

June 09: BTIC Awards

Chimney accessories specialist Specflue is delighted to have just been awarded a Big Tick within the Awards scheme sponsored by BAA London Stansted to celebrate the achievements of East of England companies for their impact on society – and then went on to win the overall award for Best Regional Business in the Community, no less.

The lavish presentation event also featured hospitality sponsorship by Adnams, and a gymnastics demonstration by Louis Smith, medallist at the Beijing Olympics. The Guest speaker was Paul Pugh, Regional Director, Government Office East and the Key Note speaker was Stephen Howard, Chief Executive of Business in the Community.

Specflue’s Tick accolade specifically related to the Impact On Society category for Small to Medium Companies – and they were in good company with the likes of Anglian Water, Cambridge University, Tesco and Whitbread also being honoured on the night.

Mike Brophy, Regional Director for Business in the Community said: “I congratulate all the winners of a Big Tick in the East of England this year. It is fantastic to see so many strong examples of responsible business practice. The Big Tick is now recognised as both a valuable and difficult award to achieve. It means a company has demonstrated ways in which they positively make a difference to the environment, their workplace, the community or in the marketplace in which they operate. Those who achieve the Big Tick are leading companies, ones that run their businesses aware that they depend above all on the talent, innovation and loyalty of their people. They know that they cannot build a successful sustainable business without constantly showing their commitment to being a better business.”
