E Poppleton & Son Ltd

E Poppleton & Son Ltd has been at the forefront of UK ventilation since its humble beginnings in Colwyn Bay in 1924. From Edward Poppleton’s small tin‑plate workshop, the family business has grown into a market leader in designing, manufacturing, installing and testing high‑spec ventilation ductwork and HVAC systems.

Rooted in nearly a century of craftmanship and innovation, Poppleton now operates from a modern facility in Mochdre, North Wales. Their in‑house team of engineers, project managers and fabricators utilise lean manufacturing, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and off‑site construction techniques to deliver bespoke solutions efficiently, safely and to the latest national and international standards.

Poppleton’s services span the full project lifecycle, from technical design and ductwork fabrication to on‑site installation, testing and compliance. Certified under schemes such as LPCB LPS 1531 for fire‑rated ductwork, they maintain an impeccable record with no non‑conformance reports during audits.

But it’s not just about engineering excellence. Poppleton is deeply committed to people and community, championing mental health initiatives in construction, celebrating diversity, and supporting local causes, from youth charity donations to school partnerships . Their leadership includes notable figures such as former managing director Gareth Vaughan and current MD Tim Hopkinson, both past presidents of the Heating and Ventilating Contractors’ Association, cementing Poppleton’s reputation as an industry influencer.

A proudly independent firm with traditional values of trust, integrity, and commitment, E Poppleton & Son continues to set the benchmark in ventilation solutions, blending storied heritage with forward‑thinking technology to deliver quality that lasts.
