History, Employment & Training

We have always invested in people through on-going training and encouraging the development of individual career paths. We have an impressive employment history that has seen staff remain within the company on average for over 15 years, in some cases for the entirety of their careers.

Our apprenticeship scheme introduces and develops new talent. This has served us well with a growing team of excellent young talent that’s guided by our long serving and senior engineers, who started out as apprentices some 25 years ago.

All our Gas Safe registered engineers are experienced, equipped and fully trained; they all drive tracked vehicles, are CRB checked and carry identification. The majority of engineers are employed and we do not use agency staff. This way we can control and ensure the quality of our workmanship and service.

We take pride in our ability to retain the best engineers as our long term service awards demonstrate. Developing a team of engineers that understands the company and what we stand for means that we continue to maintain old fashioned values but ensure we’re at the forefront of the plumbing, heating and renewable energy industry.
