Almost all the sources are industry publications or other non independent sources, those that are independent have only passing references to routine matters. It would be unusual for a company of this profile to meet the notability requirements. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:07, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Grant Engineering (UK) Limited is a United Kingdom-based manufacturer and supplier of domestic heating systems, headquartered in Swindon, Wiltshire.[1] The company's products include oil-fired condensing boilers, air source heat pumps, and renewable heating technologies.

History

[edit]

Grant Engineering was founded in Ireland in 1978 by Stephen Grant.[2][3] The company's early focus was on the design and manufacture of oil-fired heating products. In 1981, it moved to a purpose-built factory at Crinkle, Birr, County Offaly, Ireland.[3]

Grant Engineering (UK) Limited was incorporated and began operations in Salisbury, Wiltshire, in 1996.[4] The UK subsidiary relocated to Devizes, Wiltshire, in 2002, where it established a training facility for heating engineers.[5] In January 2018, an expansion of the Devizes site was completed.[6] In 2022, the UK headquarters moved to a new facility in Swindon, Wiltshire.[1]

Grant Engineering has international operations across Ireland, Great Britain, France, and Northern Ireland.
