Electricians, Plumbers and General Builders in the Bristol, Bath and South Gloucestershire areas are entitled to gaining a £5 Greggs voucher just for attending informal trade retrofit events through Retrofit West.
The reward scheme, open to event attendees, directly benefits those in the traditional trades working on domestic buildings in the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority area. Monthly events, run by Future Leap in partnership with Retrofit West, aim to get tradespeople into the retrofit industry – showing businesses how to pivot into renewable energy, upskill to offer greener options to their clients and take advantage of the growing retrofit demand.
