ABOUT BEN LEACH CERTIOSH
A Director with over 20 years experience in leading and building businesses that exceed customers service and quality expectations, from business start ups, to teams in excess of 2500 people across a wide range of disciplines. My journey at PPSL District Heating started by taking the leadership role of a team of two at the companies outset. Since then we have built an outstanding team in the District Heating industry. who are leading the way in customer service and standards for a wide range of clients across the UK. PPSL has a strong and proven track record in the UK heat network sector, particularly in the delivery of below-ground infrastructure — designing and installing buried pipework systems to the highest technical and safety standards. This has formed the backbone of our business for many years, and we are proud to be a trusted delivery partner to some of the leading names in the industry. In response to evolving client requirements, PPSL has taken the strategic decision to extend our offer beyond the boundary — providing a more integrated, end-to-end service that includes the internal network connection through to the plate heat exchanger and associated mechanical works. This reflects the growing demand for a more streamlined, accountable delivery model in heat networks, particularly as projects grow in complexity and ambition. We fully recognise the massive growth currently underway in this market — driven by the UK\'s push to decarbonise heat and accelerate the delivery of low-carbon infrastructure. It is clear that the existing supply chain must grow and adapt to meet the scale of opportunity and workload now emerging. Our expansion into full-system delivery is a direct response to that need, and we are committed to playing a proactive role in helping the sector scale responsibly and effectively. The capability to deliver this enhanced scope already exists within PPSL. Our management team includes individuals with extensive experience across the full lifecycle of heat network delivery — including oversight of internal connections, plant room integration, and commissioning.
