In particular, the last 3 months seemed like ‘business as usual’. In fact, I’d go as far as to say ‘it’s much more than that!’ Increased press activity due to the governments Heat & Buildings Strategy announcement, which has had very mixed reviews, and of course with the number of face-to-face events since the beginning October, has provided a plethora of opportunities for the Heat Pumps Today team to meet up and understand where you; as installers, manufacturers and distributors are focusing for 2022 and onwards. 2022 will see even more 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 June. As always, this event sells-out so be sure to reserve your places NOW with hayleyc@warnersgroup.co.uk CONTENTS 05 What’s in the News 07 Heat Pump Conference a resounding success! 09 What Does the Heat and Buildings Strategy Mean for the Heat Pump Industry?
