Stiebel Eltron has invested £350,000 into a new training centre and showroom at its UK headquarters, in Bromborough, Wirral. The 280m2 training area has capacity to accommodate up to 16 trainees.
Representatives of Stiebel Eltron have said that the company hopes the investment will spark a rise in installers as the UK transitions towards renewable heating solutions.
The showroom features a range of ground and air source heat pumps which vary in size and shape, and are used in different situations, such as in commercial settings, houses or flats.
Mark McManus, managing director at Stiebel Eltron UK, said: “It’s a really exciting time for the heating industry with demand for heat pumps only increasing. As a result, the UK is going to need the best installers possible.
“We started this project with the goal to create a training area which is second to none and inspires people to become heat pump installers. We’re pleased to say we’ve delivered this with a state-of-the-art facility which covers everything needed for prospective installers to learn their trade.
“But it’s our support package which really sets it apart. Not only do we ensure all trainees are equipped with the expertise and knowledge to excel in the industry, we make sure everyone on our courses receive technical support and advice which goes well beyond their training so they can meet any challenge in their line of work head-on.”
