Wolseley Group has announced the launch of Renewables Centre, designed to help heating professionals access the renewables market.
The new nationwide initiative offers what it describes as a ‘fully integrated solution’ combining accredited training, MCS-certified design, installation support, and access to high-quality renewable products, all in one location.
Renewables Centre will operate as a partner brand for Plumb Centre and offer new and existing customers a fully integrated renewables solution, supported by Renewable Equipment Solutions (R.E.S) a recent Wolseley Group acquisition. R.E.S will offer additional technical expertise, design services and a support package to guide customers through an MCS process.
John Hancock, COO of Wolseley Group, commented: “One of the biggest barriers our customers tell us about when it comes to renewables is access to training and expert support. Many installers want to expand into renewables but don’t know where to start. Renewables Centre will provide the best accredited training, design services, support and access to supplies, so installers can take their first steps with confidence.
“The heating and energy sector is changing rapidly, and we’re at a pivotal moment. Installers across the UK are about to face a surge in demand for renewables, and they need access to the right training, products, and technical support to take full advantage of this shift and make it profitable for them. Renewables Centre is ready and there for installers.”
The first Renewables Centre will open in Shrewsbury, with Swansea set to follow shortly. The company says these will be supported by a growing number of regional training centres across the UK.
