BUILD - 2019 Home And Garden Awards

Build 2019 Home And Garden Awards 70 UK’s Best Stove Manufacturer and Best Traditional Wood Burning Stove: Brunel By Stovax & Gazco Based in Exeter, Stovax & Gazco, part of the Stovax group, are innovative stove manufacturers creating innovative solutions to support clients in today’s environmentally focused market. Having recognised the companies in this year’s Home & Garden Awards we profile them to find out more and explore the driving forces behind their success. Operating in such a fast-paced market, both firms work hard to ensure that they are ahead of emerging market developments and able to offer their clients solutions that cannot be found elsewhere. One example of the firm’s adaptation is its work on its Ecodesign range. The solid fuel industry has taken measures to prepare for planned environment legislation changes by driving the efficiency and emissions of products to ensure compliance with the highest environmental standards. By 2022, only Ecodesign compliant stoves and fires will be available, all designed to burn not only efficiently, but also with emissions levels at an absolute minimum. Ahead of the market, the Stovax Heating Group already offers a vast range of Ecodesign Ready products – available now, well ahead of 2022 targets. As such, the group is able to ensure that its clients have the solutions they need now, not in three years’ time. Ultimately, with unique solutions and a drive towards sustainability and innovation, Stovax & Gazco both have a bright future ahead of them. Both firms, and indeed the entire Stovax group, will continue to evolve and lead the market in stylish, efficient heating solutions that are ahead of the curve and meet their clients’ ever-evolving needs and exceed their ever-rising expectations over the years to come. tovax was originally established in 1981 to design, manufacture and distribute wood burning stoves and fireside accessories. By 1988, a decision was made to diversify into the manufacture of gas-fired versions of Stovax stoves and a separate company, Gazco Ltd was formed to develop and produce them. Today, as sister companies, Stovax and Gazco continue to work very closely together. Each company has constantly developed its product range such that the combined businesses have grown to become one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of stoves, fireplaces and fires, with exports to countries worldwide. In 2006, Stovax Ltd purchased Yeoman, a long-established manufacturer of wood burning stoves which specialised in more rustic, rural styling. The company continues to produce a distinctive range of wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric stoves and fires under the Yeoman brand. Thanks to this acquisition and its vast industry experience, alongside offering its own solutions Stovax is also the UK and Republic of Ireland distributor for a number of additional fireplaces and stove brands including Dovre, Lotus, Nordpeis & Varde. Offering innovative, efficient solutions, Stovax continues to carve a niche for itself in the ever-competitive stove market. With the depletion of fossil fuels and unprecedented increases in their costs, wood is being accepted as an economic, renewable and carbon lean energy source. Stovax high-efficiency stoves and fires will continue to help provide ‘greener’ heating for the 21st Century, whilst the company commits itself to researching the alternative technologies that will provide heating in the years ahead. Working alongside its sister firm to drive the development environmentally friendly solutions, Gazco are making continuing advancements in the devel- opment of high efficiency gas fire technology and highly realistic flame-effect electric fires, helping to keep Gazco at the forefront of the market.
