partners with SKAN in the UK fires and fireplace market.

The following formal announcement released in April this year from Jeremy Drew, Sales Manager at SKAN explains more:

As a matter of courtesy and prior to the “official announcement in the press”, I wanted to personally update you on the news that SKAN have signed a prestigious distribution agreement with HONEYWELL in the supply of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms into the UK Fires & Fireplace Industry.

HONEYWELL is a strong brand with an impressive track record:

  ·         British Gas Approved (exclusively) since 1997

  ·         Over 4 million units sold

  ·         In over 80 local authorities/housing associations

  ·         British Manufacture retained for the all important sensor unit

  ·        A unique and FREE British telephone helpline established to support your end customers

Together with Adrian Keats from HONEYWELL Analytics, the SKAN Midlands warehouse site is now the UK’s Fires and Fireplace official distribution hub for sales of the HONEYWELL CO Alarm SF450EN/H450EN (see attached literature).

The UK fire/stove market is quite a niche/fragmented market. HONEYWELL saw the clear benefit of partnering with a proven technical sales company like SKAN that can bring all this under one, single umbrella. In return SKAN have managed to secure industry best pricing even for the smaller Fire/Stove OEM’s and Retailers.

Clearly there will always be “cheaper” alternative CO alarms available. However “what price do you put on safety?” SKAN believe the HONEYWELL brand to be the clear benchmark product here within the industry, with UK manufacture and a UK back-up and support that is second to none.

The SKAN SCHOTT relationship still remains as strong as ever, with SKAN building continuously on the 50 years supply of heat resistant glass material. Today SCHOTT ROBAX ceramic glass transparent vision windows remain the market leader.

Today, having the prestigious HONEYWELL brand within the SKAN portfolio offers us still further growth potential into new and exciting areas.

Should you require further information on CO Alarms or would like to raise any other matters about SKAN products/supply, please pick up the phone or email myself or Andrew Tosh.

Yours sincerely,

Jeremy Drew

Divisional Manager
