Some of the hottest industry issues, including Government targets to install 600,000 heat pumps a year, will be discussed as a major trade body visits TG Lynes. The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) is holding a meeting for members of its Heating & Plumbing Services (HPS) subgroup on March 27, 2024.
The event will be hosted by TG Lynes at the Enfield base of the pioneering heating, plumbing, and air movement materials supplier. Members will have a chance to tour the facility as well as enjoying a chance to network.
Net zero ambitions
Mark Oakes, Head of Specialist Groups at BESA, said: “We’re really looking forward to our HPS meeting at TG Lynes. They are a pioneering supplier of heating and plumbing parts so is a very relevant venue for our members. The HPS group hasn’t met for a little, while so I’m sure it will be well attended and will be a valuable session. We look forward to delving behind the scenes at TG Lynes and seeing how the business operates on a day-to-day basis."
He adds, “We’ll also be talking through some key issues in the industry, including changes to The Building Safety Act, concerns around the boiler tax, the watering down of the Government’s net zero ambitions and the drive towards heat pumps.”
