With the government committing £12bn to kickstart a green industrial revolution, joining the sector as an apprentice could be a smart career move
If somebody had told Mark Dyer a year ago that heat pumps would be leading the BBC News at Ten, he’s not sure he would have believed them. But the recent publication of the government’s 10-point plan to reach net zero by 2050 has shone unprecedented light on the renewable energy sectors.
“Last year, around 27,000 heat pumps were installed in residential homes. The government has just announced that they want 600,000 homes by 2028,” says Dyer, the deputy managing director of Daikin, one of the leading heat pump manufacturers in the UK.
