The change in company direction was decided following an internal business review where it was decided that concentrating their sales within the hospitality and foodservice market on one product area would be financially smarter.
Mike Butt, managing director of GDPA, said: “Our core strength has always been within our UK manufactured Burco water boilers and whilst other products have performed strongly over the last few years, it is believed that by specialising in one product area, we will be better able to service our key customer base through increased innovation and development for which we have some exciting developments planned.
“Whilst this has been a very difficult decision for the business, it is one that we believe will ultimately make GDPA a stronger business in the long term.
“We would like to assure all current customers of LEC commercial and Burco products that we will continue to meet and exceed all our statutory requirements to support and service LEC and Burco brands, as part of our on-going commitment.”
The phased withdrawal will take place over the coming months.
