  • Gas Safety – gas safety exemptions, how and when to undertake gas safety work.
  • Financial support – government-backed schemes and who is eligible.
  • Digital marketing – why it is more important than ever before, where to invest your time and effort and how to fund it.
  • Upskilling and diversification – plugging skills gaps in your workforce, joining new sectors, training for complementary technologies, such as renewables and heat pumps.
