Government officials visit Worcester Bosch HQ

Officials from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) & Midlands Net Zero Hub (MNZH) visited the Worcester Bosch HQ to assess how the Heat Training Grant has been utilised. 

The £5 million Heat Training Grant provides heating engineers with £500 discounts towards becoming a fully qualified heat pump installer. Applicants need to sign up for the training through their chosen provider - with courses available in over 60 locations throughout England including Worcester Bosch - to confirm they are eligible and receive the £500 discount. 

DESNZ and MNZH spoke to individuals from Worcester Bosch, as well as installers, to discuss the workings of the heat pump training funding and the effectiveness of Worcester Bosch’s training for delegates.  

The number of individuals completing training to become qualified heat pump installers saw a significant increase last year, rising by 166% from just under 3,000 in 2022 to almost 8,000 in 2023. Training academies like Worcester Bosch are playing a crucial role in this growth, with 582 delegates having been trained across the company’s training facilities in Worcester, Wakefield and Thurrock.  

Martyn Bridges, Director of External Affairs at Worcester Bosch, provides comments on the visit: 'Today's visit by DESNZ & MNZH to our HQ provided an invaluable opportunity for them to see firsthand how the grant funding is being utilised and assess the effectiveness of the scheme. As one of their approved heat pump training providers, we were able to showcase our training programs and discuss the progress and impact with both our team and installers.  

This direct engagement is crucial for ensuring the continued success and improvement of the initiative and we are looking forward to continuing our close working relationship with DESNZ & MNZH moving forward.'
