The move will further improve the company's headquarters in Bromborough, Wirral, to increase capacity for its training programme which has already provided more than 400 installers with the expertise to thrive in the heat pump industry in this year alone.

Adding a 20,000ft² space, the expansion follows significant investment from Stiebel Eltron UK into its training programme in the past 12 months as it looks to inspire a surge of installers capable of meeting increasing demand for heat pumps.

As well as providing an area to deliver comprehensive training, the new space will also be used to increase capacity for the storage of the company’s renewable energy products, allowing Stiebel Eltron to further meet demand for the supply of heat pumps to the UK market.

Last year, the company pumped £350,000 into a new training facility to supercharge the next generation of installers, with the latest addition designed to cater for more due to the programme’s popularity.

The course, which first launched in November last year, has seen hundreds of aspiring installers learn their expertise and is set to see a further 570 trained in the coming months.

The expansion will see the company create a training workshop kitted out with the latest heat pump and renewable energy products for prospective installers to get to grips with.

With the new training area expected to be finalised in the coming year, the move forms part of STIEBEL ELTRON UK’s commitment to grow the UK’s heat pump market with a view that electricity is the fuel of the future.
