We also support gas professionals with mentoring, coaching, and industry-specific training to enhance skills and ensure compliance.

This include:

  • Expert guidance for career growth and best practices.

  • Regulation 8 (Reg8) Training with clear, practical training on compliance responsibilities.

  • Focused sessions on gas safety in social housing.

What Our Members Say

"Having known John for quite some years now through interaction at technical seminars and via the regular catch-up meetings he has organised and chaired, where Gas managers and likeminded companies meet to discuss issues and resolutions that might impact, and or support us to improve our own services, skills and knowledge. During which time I’ve found John to be pleasant, honest, approachable, and knowledgeable in the subject of heating and other attributing compliance areas, on the back of which am happy working alongside him and his contacts to aid and support mutual learning and understanding for my team and the broader company."
