AQUALISA AWARDS ITS WINNER OF ‘WIN A VAN’

To celebrate its 40th birthday, Aqualisa gave installers the chance to win a new Renault Kangoo Business van worth nearly £15,000 by registering the purchase of a qualifying Aqualisa smart shower product online. Paul Phillips, owner of I Do Plumbing was the lucky winner to be presented with the prize after being randomly drawn from the many customers who registered a purchase. A small family run business, I Do Plumbing was formed in 2006 by Paul who has over 25 years’ experience specialising in both domestic and industrial plumbing and heating. “I often install Aqualisa showers, in particular the QuartzTM range which I have worked with a lot - I even have one in my own home,” commented Paul. “The after service at Aqualisa is great and the warrantees available are also excellent. Aqualisa showers are what we call ‘fit and forget’ products - they are never any trouble after installation.” On his win Paul commented: “I never thought I would win something like this – it’s really exciting. I have two company vans at the moment but the lease on one is shortly coming to an end so this couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s great to have a new addition to the fleet.” Paul bought the lucky shower from Brian Ellery, owner of Perrys Bathrooms - an independent, family run bathroom showroom that’s been in Beckenham since 1951. On Paul’s success Brian commented: “It is great to hear that a local installer has won the competition. I had the poster up in my shop and encouraged him to enter so I’m delighted that he was successful. “Aqualisa showers are the only showers I recommend – as a brand they have been around for years and they specialise in showers so they’re the experts. The products are always easy to install, the customer service is good and the company’s warrantees include labour which is ideal.” Diane Taylor, Customer Service Manager at Aqualisa commented: “The response to the ‘Win a Van’ competition has been fantastic. We were thrilled to give Paul his prize and a tour of our head office and factory. We hope that he can put the van to good use and that it will help his business prosper.”
