Get ahead of the curve and be a part of the green recovery with this unique training course for Greater Manchester builders.

Over the last year, despite the pandemic, there has been huge demand from householders wanting to make energy efficiency improvements to their homes. People Powered Retrofit has had over 180 enquiries, over 60 clients in Greater Manchester planning their home energy improvements and looking for contractors. Jobs our clients are looking for range between £5,000 to upwards of £100,000, with the average around £45,000.

So, we know demand is there, but we don’t have enough builders to do the work!
