A COMPANY that started trading in Salisbury seven years ago has won one of the heating industry's most prestigious international awards.

Grant UK began on Churchfields industrial estate and still employs many Salisbury people at its new base in Devizes.

The award was for the Domestic Heating & Ventilating Product of the Year 2003 and was presented at the H&V News Awards for Excellence in London to Grant UK for its environmentally friendly and high efficiency central heating boiler.

It is the first time that an oil-fired central heating boiler has won the accolade.
