2023 Grand Opening of UK Production Facility

2023 saw the opening of Herschel’s UK Production Facility, in Bristol. This step marks our continued commitment to increasing capacity of our energy efficient, comfortable and sustainable heating solutions to meet the growing demand from both UK and overseas markets. We were privileged to welcome guest speakers along to the event who commended the venture both in terms of the opportunity to decarbonise heating, in the road map to Net Zero, as well as creating prosperity within the UK economy.

Our guest speakers were Darren Jones who officially opened the facility for Herschel, MP for Bristol North West and Chair of the Business and Trade Committee,  Jade Lewis, Sustainable Energy Association, Dr Richard Hall, Department for Business and Trade and Simon Pugh-Jones RIBA, Chair of Bristol Diocesan Advisory Committee and Contributor to the Church of England’s Route Map to Net Zero.

William Herschel’s Discovery in 1800

We are proud to be continuing the legacy of Sir William Herschel, who made his incredible discovery of the existence of infrared radiation right back in 1800. Prior to Herschel’s discovery, no-one else had considered that this heat was another form of light. The Herschel home, now the Herschel Museum of Astronomy in Bath, where William used to live and the garden from which he discovered the planet Uranus with a telescope, is now heated by a Herschel Inspire Picture panel featuring an image of the Planet Uranus.

Watch Astronomer Robert Fosbury, from the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, as he describes how Herschel made his amazing discovery and how he describes infrared as ” comforting heat”.
