It would seem that many of you within the industry are working flat out. It’s heart warming to see business getting back to some sense of normality. In fact, I would suggest we are even exceeding normality within the heat pump sector. We’re all set and ready to greet you at Installer Live in June at the NEC. Of course, later in the year, we’ve also got Chillventa to look forward to. Meanwhile, please do come along to our stand in Birmingham for a catch up. We’re also very excited for the National ACR & Heat Pump Awards, being held on the 9th of June at the Queens Hotel, Leeds. So many fantastic Heat Pump related entries, do view the shortlist on pages 8 & 9.
