With a wealth of experience in the plumbing and heating industry, Gavin James has been appointed area sales manager (North) – heating products at Eclipse Magnetics.
His primary focus will be on helping merchant stockists maximise sales opportunities for Eclipse’s high-performance BoilerMag magnetic filters. As part of this he will utilise his 12 years experience of selling to contractors, local authorities and housing associations.
With a background spanning national plumbers’ merchants and leading boiler manufacturers, James will be able to offer customers a unique insight into what is a rapidly-growing product category.
“Having worked previously for leading brands in the plumbing and heating sector, I already knew about the benefits offered by BoilerMag,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge to helping customers grow their business and working for a company that has been manufacturing the world’s best performing magnetic technologies for over 100 years.”
BoilerMag from Eclipse Magnetics combats the build-up of ferrous oxide or black sludge, and can therefore improve heating efficiency by up to 6%. It also avoids radiator cold spots, poor circulation, blocked pipes, excessive noise, frequent breakdowns and premature pump wear in the process.With unique Dual Flow Technology and patented high-intensity magnetic core, Boilermag is a market leading means of removing black sludge. The innovative magnetic circuit design pioneered by Eclipse’s specialist magnet designers means that high performance system can never block.
Tony Swift, Eclipse Magnetics’ national sales manager – Heating Products, said: “We welcome Gavin to our BoilerMag team. His 12 years of experience in the sector will ensure that he is able to work with customers to build their sales within the magnetic filter category.”
Boilermag Domestic, which is available in an eye-catching shelf-ready retail box, is designed to fit standard 22 or 28mm pipe sizes and its 360° adjustment enables it to be used on any angle of pipe-work. Eclipse Magnetics also manufacture systems for larger commercial (BoilerMagXL) and industrial (BoilerMagXT) premises to suit 1.5 inch to 6 inch pipes.
