This week, Elmhurst Energy’s Head of Training, Josh Wakeling, attended the Future Homes, Skills and Innovation APPG session at Portcullis House, where industry leaders, parliamentarians and training experts came together to discuss the skills needed to support the future of UK homes.

As the sector works to grow the workforce needed for retrofit, energy efficiency and future homes, Josh spoke with the expert panel about how we ensure competence is achieved, maintained and trusted over time.

For Elmhurst Energy, ongoing professional registration, quality assurance and CPD have an important role to play in supporting competent, current professionals and building confidence across the sector.

It was encouraging to see this discussion taking place at a parliamentary level, with a clear focus on practical solutions and long-term skills development.

As non-domestic retrofit continues to grow under PAS 2038, there is increasing demand for professionals who can assess, coordinate and lead compliant retrofit projects 🏢
