The Flueboost fan was developed in the 1970s by the late Simon Cartwright to overcome problematic flue installations due to:

• Restricted duct diameter
• Down draught
• Horizontal flue route
• Complicated and/or long flue route
• Coastal/windy locations.

Simon had worked for family heating business, R&S Cartwrights, to size and install commercial boiler systems in many of the banks, offices and warehouses in central Manchester in the late 60s and early 70s. He saw the potential of the product range and established Flueboost as a separate company which operated alongside R&S Cartwrights until it expanded to its current premises in Knutsford, Cheshire.
