Changes to the
environmental legislation to boost green investment will be a positive step for the industry, it has been stated.
Kevin Wellman, operations director at the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, spoke about the government's decision to commit £3 billion to the green investment bank in last week's (March 23rd 2011) Budget.
Chancellor George Osborne also announced that the bank will begin one year earlier than expected in 2012-13.
Mr Wellman said this has been "positive news", adding that the changes to the green deal are something that he would "certainly applaud".
He stated that it was more important to have "quality products installed by quality people" with regards to implementing energy-efficient measures in households and offices across the UK, in order to prevent rogue traders from taking advantage of the environmental legislation.
"The essential thing is to look after the consumers' interests," he went on to say.
