Quality Plumber Week and our Plumbing courses!
This week is the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractor's 'Quality Plumber Week' which is running between 5th - 11th of October! This is an annual event, hosted to praise the plumbers and heating engineers across the country, celebrating the work they do on a daily basis. Beyond this they aim to inform and update these workers on the upcoming changes in the industry, the big developments and things to look out for in this line of work. Amongst other things they are giving out prizes for plumbers with a great reputation, raising awareness and they've even teamed up with Travis Perkins to host free online workshops for installers to talk about key changes in the trade. Let's look at more on what's going on this week and how to get started with our plumbing training courses...
