PTS spares was launched in 2006 with its nationwide outlets offering 1,200 products as standard. In addition to serving independent installers at its branches, PTS also supplies spares to companies in the energy and social housing sector.

Martyn Farrelly, spares operations director at PTS, said: “Our spares service has continued to grow year on year and the opening of the 175th branch is a big achievement.

“To provide the best possible service, we developed a dedicated spares distribution centre. This ensures excellent availability in addition to the local support received through business development managers. Our spares service is an important part of the PTS business and we’re confident of a successful and busy heating season.”

Adding to the celebration, PTS has recently launched a unique piece of software for the identification of spare parts called MiSPARES. Easily accessed through a smart phone or hand held device, the program has been designed so that installers can find and order parts whilst on site. PTS account customers can visit the MiSPARES website at www.mispares.co.uk to register for a personal login and password.
