EDITORIAL POLICY I ADVERTISING RATES I CIRCULATION PROFILE I FEATURE LIST I PRODUCTION DATA

Plumbing, Heating and Air Movement News is widely regarded as being the leading technical publication for industry professionals and decision makers. The long established publication continues to evolve so that it reflects the key concerns of its readers and provides an authoritative commentary on the many challenges facing businesses operating in the domestic and light commercial sectors.

It is produced in an attractive and accessible tabloid format and delivers an unrivalled breadth of coverage to ensure that readers are kept abreast of the latest design trends and technical developments.

Editorial Content

Throughout the year, PHAM News targets specific areas of the plumbing and

HVAC markets with monthly features that deliver analysis, advice and insight

across a comprehensive range of technologies. The current emphasis on

energy efficiency in boiler technology, for example, is reflected in our in-depth

coverage of oil and gas appliances as well as heating controls, system treatment

and circulating pumps. Renewables also feature prominently in the magazine,

with experts in the solar, biomass and heat pump sectors providing jargon-

free comment on the most pressing issues. Training is another area of focus

where we devote space each month to news of the latest qualifications and

courses provided by manufacturers and colleges. Other popular sections of

the publication include a gadgets and tools section, case studies, new product

round-up, business guidance, prize competitions and a lively letters page – all of

which help to make PHAM News essential reading for the growing number of

industry professionals and decision makers who consider the magazine to

be their more important source of information.
