Peter Nagy Joins CPV’s Heat Networks Team

Currently celebrating forty years manufacturing pre-insulated pipes in the UK, CPV Ltd has further underlined its commitment to heat networks, with the appointment of Peter Nagy as a business development manager for its heat networks activities.

A well-known figure in the sector, Peter has a wealth of experience, gained from more than a decade of supporting heat network projects in the UK with pre-insulated pipe systems and components. His appointment comes at a time when the UK’s heat network sector is being challenged with rapid growth to support the Government’s plans for expanding heat networks in the UK. Currently supplying between two and three per-cent of heat, heat networks will have to develop their market share to somewhere closer to 20 per-cent by 2050 to meet the UK’s legally binding decarbonisation targets.

Mark Whettall, managing director of CPV Ltd said: “We’re delighted to welcome Peter to the team and his input is going to be a valuable addition to our plans for further strengthening our position as a UK manufacturer of pre-insulated pipe systems.”

“Our ability to design, develop and manufacture pipe systems for heat networks right here in the UK is proving to be very popular with clients – particularly those needing to get fast access to high-quality pre-insulated pipe, fittings and associated components.

“Peter’s role will further strengthen this relationship and ensure that many more developers and installers of heat networks can enjoy the benefits of using locally-based suppliers.”

Peter Nagy added: “I am really looking forward to working with the CPV team. Being the UK’s leading manufacturer of pre-insulated pipe systems - coupled with their innovation on new pipe systems, such as the advanced polymers used in Hiline Clover – they are really going to help unlock cost savings both at the time of construction and throughout their long operational life due to their greater thermal efficiency.”

“Making these gains in efficiency is going to be vitally important as the heat networks sector grows – particularly by the introduction of heat network zoning that is expected to start in 2025.

“All eyes will be on the technology and it is vital that every aspect of heat networks perform to an optimal level – ensuring more consumers can enjoy secure, reliable and efficient supplies of low-carbon heat. I’m glad to be joining a team that can help ensure that the buried pre-insulated heat networks can play their part in delivering the successful outcome required.”
