As I write this, Ukraine is still in the midst of an unthinkable invasion. Many displaced, injured and dying… kinda puts things into perspective. On a personal level, I’m doing my best to donate supplies, raise funds and awareness to the plight of so many displaced Ukrainians. On a business front, it’s been so heartening to see how many have collectively come together to also support and raise funds for those in need. As I said in the last issue, 2022 will see increased investment within the Heat Pumps Today brand, in print, online and within social media platforms. This is your platform so I’d like to invite you to get in touch and share your wins, comments, concerns, amazing projects and of course any new products and services coming ahead for 2022 – julietl@warnersgroup.co.uk I am thrilled that The National ACR & Heat Pump Awards, held in Manchester back in October, was a triumph for industry. In excess of 400 of the HVAC industry movers & shakers gathered at the Midland Hotel to help celebrate excellence across the sector. It was heartening, yet at the same time very tough for the judges, to have received over 100 entries for this event. It just shows there are some extremely positive things happening out there. The 2022 event will be held at the Queens Hotel, Leeds on the 9th of June. As always, this event sells-out so be sure to reserve your places NOW with hayleyc@warnersgroup.co.uk CONTENTS 04 National ACR & Heat Pump Awards – Leeds, 9th June 2022 07 Current news items 08 RACHP Skills UK – Main sponsor Fujitsu UK Confirmed.
