Great to be starting a new cath labs project in Plymouth for our longstanding valued client Brothwell Irvine.

The job’s already off to a solid start. The insulation fitting has started using Thermaduct slab, and next up we’ll be wrapping it in PIB before finishing with Aluzinc cladding for a smart, durable look.

We’ve done quite a bit of work on this site already, including the big ongoing Fractures and UTC project, so it’s great to keep things moving with another exciting install.

Welcoming Our New Apprentices

We’re proud to announce that we have two new apprentices, Simon York and Richard Johns, who have recently started their Level 2 Apprenticeship in Commercial Thermal Insulation with TICA (Thermal Insulation Contractors Association).

Both have already made a fantastic start. Richard is settling in quickly, showing enthusiasm and commitment to learning the trade. He’s had some great results and has marked highly with his initial work.

Simon is also doing amazingly, despite his recent health challenges with spinal surgery and a diagnosis of FND (functional Neurological Disorder). He’s shown incredible resilience to get here and his determination to succeed is inspiring. We’re committed to supporting him in every way we can to make his journey with Comet Insulation as smooth as possible. Working closely with TICA, we’re making sure he has the right adjustments in place, not just to help him succeed but to ensure that people with disabilities can thrive in our industry.

At Comet Insulation, we believe in opening doors to opportunity, developing talent, and making our workplace as inclusive as possible. We’re excited to see how both Simon and Richard progress on their journey, and we’re confident they’ll both have bright futures in insulation.

A huge thank you to TICA for their continued support in training and developing the next generation of insulation professionals.

The past few weeks have been challenging for our team as our Managing Director, Gary Haley, has been in hospital with sepsis and undergoing surgery.

We’re very glad to share that Gary is now home and recovering well.

In his absence, the team has worked hard to keep everything running smoothly, supporting one another and ensuring that projects continued without disruption. We’re proud of how everyone has pulled together during this time.

We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Gary a speedy recovery and reassure our clients and partners that he’s doing much better, and will be back with us in no time.

This summer, we’ve been busy at Comet Insulation Ltd. Not just on site, but also behind the scenes. From assisting on large-scale energy surveys, to expanding our reach into new regions of the country and training and recruiting new site workers. Every step is part of a bigger goal: helping businesses and property owners reduce energy loss and improve efficiency.

Thermal insulation isn’t just about keeping heat in, it’s about saving money, cutting carbon, and supporting a more sustainable future. Whether it’s trace heating, pipe insulation, or full plant room upgrades, the smallest changes can make a big difference.

💬 What’s one upgrade you’ve made to your building that had a surprising impact on energy efficiency?

Yesterday, Comet Insulation had the opportunity to assist on a TIPCHECK industrial energy survey in a major plant room, working alongside Chris Ridge from the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association - TICA.

Paul Kershaw will be undertaking TIPCHECK training this November with the European Industrial Insulation Foundation (EiiF), and this experience has reinforced just how valuable the methodology is in helping clients:
✅ Reduce energy loss
✅ Lower operating costs
✅ Improve sustainability

A big thank you to Chris for sharing his expertise in the field. We’re looking forward to offering this specialist service to our clients soon.

If your business would like to assess the energy efficiency of its HVAC system insulation, get in touch. These surveys often uncover opportunities to save tens of thousands of pounds annually, with a typical return on investment in just 3–18 months.

Devon Networking at Powderham Castle

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending a fantastic networking event on behalf of Comet Insulation Ltd at the stunning Powderham Castle, hosted by the Devon Chamber of Commerce.

It was a great opportunity to connect with other local businesses, share ideas, and explore new opportunities for collaboration, all in an incredible historic setting.

Events like these remind me how valuable it is to be part of a strong and supportive business community here in the South West, as well as how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful and interesting part of the country.

Thanks to everyone I met, the Castle staff for an incredible tour and to the Chamber team for organising such a brilliant event!

Unfortunately Simons Journey came to an end yesterday in the Quarter Finals.

We're all very proud of how well he's done for his first Ultimate Pool tournament and wish him the best of luck for his future tournaments and for today, which is his first day on site working for us.
