In order to get a decent shower (or two) and a quick bath I was als going to replace my old Worcester 24i combi with a condensing boile (in order of l/min at 35 C Worcester, Baxi, Glow Worm, Ferroli). I this produces around 15l/min of hot water and the cold is boosted b the above pump, will this allow 2 simultaneous showers

The cold will not really come into the question (at least during the winter) since the 15l/min figure is at about shower temperature without adding cold. You may just get two showers at once out of it so long as your shower head is not too thirsty, but there will be no spare capacity in the supply, so if a tap gets turned on elswhere then someone (or both) is going to get a cold shower.
