As evidence of a growing commitment to users of its energy management solutions in Scotland, 
battery specialist Hoppecke Industrial Batteries has introduced the country's first dedicated battery maintenance services for such products as lead acid, fibre nickel cadmium (FNC), lithium-ion (LiOn) and explosion-proof batteries.

The leading specialist in industrial battery systems and the largest battery manufacturer in European ownership, Hoppecke prides itself on providing the best quality battery maintenance services in Scotland. That's why it has chosen to replace outsourced service contractors in the country with dedicated Hoppecke engineers who are now able to deliver a direct maintenance service to customers in Scotland for the first time.

The move underlines how important the Scottish market is to Hoppecke and means that the company will now have much greater control over ensuring its customers receive the correct engineering quality standards in terms of battery use.

Says Jason Howlett, Managing Director of Hoppecke UK & Ireland and Regional Managing Director of Western & Northern Europe: "I am delighted that we can now offer a much more direct and personal engineering service to our customers in the crucially important Scottish marketplace. As we recruit more top quality staff we will be able to continue to improve the standard of services that we deliver to users of our energy solutions throughout Scotland."

At the same time, Hoppecke has strengthened its UK-wide team of service engineers with two key appointments. These latest additions to the company's service team will ensure Hoppecke remains the only battery manufacturer capable of offering a four-hour response rate to customers, wherever they may be based. Boosting the team also means Hoppecke will continue to provide immediate on-site solutions to customers' problems in an impressive 93 per cent of cases.

In addition to expanding its team of service engineers, Hoppecke has recently taken on six new members of staff across the UK, including key positions in contract administration, sales administration and supply chain support. The company is also looking to recruit further specialists in reserve power sector - which is becoming an increasingly important area for Hoppecke - and another service engineer in the south west of England.

Jason Howlett adds: "This continuing expansion of our service engineering team is great news for customers and comes at the end of a fantastic year for us where we have seen our market share increase significantly. Enquiries are at a record high across our whole product range, including our green energy solutions based around renewable energy sources."
