Announced today (Friday 21 April), Sunamp has been recognised for its excellence in innovation. A total of 149 Awards are made with one company being recognised with two Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employing 80 people, Sunamp was set up in 2005 and is a pioneer of innovative thermal storage solutions. From its base near Edinburgh, Sunamp designs and manufactures compact heat batteries based on its patented Plentigrade\u00ae high performance thermal storage technology platform which works with almost any energy source to help to deliver highly effective, low-carbon heating and cooling in buildings. Sunamp\u2019s Thermino range can store energy from renewable sources to deliver hot water in thermal batteries that are up to four times smaller than equivalent hot water cylinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunamp CEO Andrew Bissell said:<br><\/strong>\u201cThis award marks a milestone in Sunamp\u2019s journey so far, from developing our game-changing phase change materials, to becoming world leaders in thermal storage technologies. The world struggled from 1947 to realise the heat battery vision of space-saving, easy to install and use, energy efficient storage for thermal energy. The lack of stable materials hampered efforts by large companies and prestigious Universities.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunamp.com\/en-au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/07\/Sunamp-Chief-Executive-Andrew-Bissell-at-Sunamp-factory-near-Edinburgh-4v01-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2712\" style=\"width:461px;height:315px\" width=\"461\" height=\"315\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe achieved the breakthrough in the early 2010s which enabled us to arrive at the solution. Since 2018 we have brought this to market via four generations of heat battery products and so far we have delivered over 25,000 units. I am proud of everything we have achieved, and receiving a King\u2019s Award recognises everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The King\u2019s Awards for Enterprise was previously known as The Queen\u2019s Awards for Enterprise, and the new name reflects His Majesty The King\u2019s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s by recognising outstanding UK businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Award programme, now in its 57th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King\u2019s Awards Emblem for the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for King\u2019s Awards for Enterprise 2024 open on His Majesty The King\u2019s Coronation, 6th May 2023 For more information, visit https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/kingsawards-for-enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published: 21 April 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thermal storage manufacturer Sunamp has been honoured with the first ever King\u2019s Award for Enterprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
