K A Stripp Ltd, plumbing and heating

With decades of experience as plumbing and heating engineers, this family firm did not need a website to get more work. But founder Kevin Stripp wanted to expand the renewables side of his business which will save his customers money and benefit the environment.

The website accordingly majors on ground source and air source heat pumps and on solar water heating, explaining how these technologies work and how customers can apply for grants.

Kate Chitham: artist, painter and graphic designer
