A COMPANY based in the Yorkshire Dales is playing a leading role in the nation’s move toward a more sustainable ways of heating homes. GTEC, a renewables training provider based in Hawes, explained to local MP Rishi Sunak how it was creating the ‘green’ installers needed to meet carbon reduction targets. During his visit, Rishi met local installers to find out how training was helping them, reviewed the range of renewable technologies available at GTEC – heat pumps, solar thermal with battery storage coming soon – and heard about the company’s recent successes. At the end of last year, GTEC won a bid to provide heavily discounted training and certification to individuals and companies looking to upskill into heat-based renewables, backed by the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
