Nusrat Ghani said: “Aspen Pumps is a phenomenal business, a great British success story and shining example of our world-leading local enterprises. The expertise and far-reaching impact of our local businesses never fails to amaze me, and I was pleased to return to Aspen Pumps’ Hailsham headquarters to catch up on how far the business has come over the past few years since I last visited their much smaller offices. It is an outstanding achievement that they are now trading in over 100 countries and delivering world-class solutions for the air conditioning industry. Their growth and success is great news locally and it brings much-needed high-skilled job and apprenticeship opportunities. I’m pleased to have been supporting Aspen Pumps over the past decade and I’m proud that products made by our unique local companies are supporting global markets as well as boosting the local economy and driving growth in the UK."
Adrian Thompson, Chief Executive at Aspen Pumps said: “We are grateful to the BVCA for arranging this visit with Nusrat Ghani MP. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our industry-leading technology and demonstrate the global reach of our business. Our partnership with Inflexion has provided vital support for our successful growth journey so far, and we expect this to continue as we look to continue to innovate our product offering, increase market penetration and deliver growth across our business.”
