Ploughcroft’s award winning ways
Not only has Ploughcroft recently scooped the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) award for Exceptional Contribution to Training in Solar, the Yorkshire-based company has opened two new training centres in Manchester and Stoke.
Chris Hopkins, managing director, Ploughcroft, said of the company’s award win: “We are pleased that our hard work and dedication to quality renewable training and installation is being recognised by such prestigious organisations as the NFRC. This award cements our position in the industry as leaders of solar renewable energy training and quality installation. We are working tirelessly to build a reputable brand in the renewable energy industry and believe this award highlight this.”
The NFRC chief executive said: “There is one ‘character’ – and I mean character – that has pushed training in many forms making it varied, open and accessible to all.
“He supported all the NFRC solar training courses, he has worked with us and the Green Roof Organisation to develop training in the Green Roof sector and he has provided strong support in the photovoltaic training in providing the rigs and materials to ensure this training has got off the ground.
“Additionally to this, he has supported and helped lead the Yorkshire Roof Training Group as it strives forward. He offers taster days in all the roofing sectors to ensure that there is an acceptable standard of roofing being done in the domestic market. And perhaps, most important to us is the fact that he is the first to put his hand up to support any initiative from the Trade Associations.”
The opening of the two new centers in Manchester and Stoke will help Ploughcroft cope with growing demand as well as expand the company’s reach across the UK. The Stoke centre is operating in association with the BGC Group. Hopkins explained: “Working closely with The BCG group has been fantastic for Ploughcroft Training. The company is professional and has an up-to-date training centre. This, coupled with our high standard of training and ability to draw upon the experience of our national solar roofing service we provide throughout the UK, keeps Ploughcroft Training ahead of the pack.”
Ploughcroft is celebrating the opening of the new centres with a 20 per cent discount for all online renewable energy training course bookings. The company intends to open two more renewable energy training centres in the next few months, one of which will be in the south of England, opening up an entirely new geographical market.
Hopkins concluded: “We want to help the renewable energy industry achieve its goals of reaching the 2020 targets. For this to happen we need more skilled installers throughout the UK. All Ploughcroft’s courses provide real life experience and can be used to help installers achieve MCS accreditation.”
