Daikin UK has opened its first Sustainable Home Centre in North Wales, in partnership with Thorncliffe Building Supplies, one of the largest independent builders’ merchants in North Wales and the North West of England.
Dr. James Davies, MP for the Vale of Clwyd attended the opening alongside Tim Harper and the team at Thorncliffe Building Supplies.

The Centre will also house a heat pump training center. Training delivered by Daikin and Thorncliffe Building Supplies will help local installers enhance the services they offer.

Sustainable heating journey
Tim Harper, Managing Director at Thorncliffe Building Supplies, commented, “This is a big milestone for us and it’s just the beginning of our exciting next chapter. We’re already planning to open a second showroom at our Ewloe branch; such is the demand for renewable heating solutions in North Wales and over the English border.”
“We’ve always had great relationships with local tradespeople, and with our new training facility, we can help them capitalize on this demand as well. And our new showroom means we can offer homeowners a great experience as they too start their sustainable heating journey. Alongside our Daikin heat pump range, we’re displaying our complete bathroom offering and a range of sustainable biomass stoves.”
