Travis Perkins Group and Toriga Energy have formed a strategic alliance to provide a comprehensive Green Deal proposition for the trade and consumers.
Through the agreement, the two firms will provide an end-to-end Green Deal solution from specification to finance, assessment and installation.

Toriga Energy has been appointed one of the first of the Coalition Government's Green Deal Providers as part of a pioneer group of 22, which will offer energy efficiency packages when the scheme is launched later this year.

Under the terms of the alliance, Travis Perkins will provide in-branch consumer and trade marketing within its Wickes branches and trade marketing in Travis Perkins merchant branches. Sustainable Building Solutions, a specialist division of Travis Perkins Group, will offer technical support, Green Deal accreditation and training provision for assessors and installers. Supply and distribution of measures will be provided by Travis Perkins Group companies.

Meanwhile, Toriga Energy will provide finance provision, systems development and integration. It will also provide recruitment and management of assessors and installers, together with Toriga software and systems training for assessors and installers.

Director of Sustainable Building Solutions, Paul Joyner, said: 'This strategic alliance offers a unique Green Deal proposition for consumers and the trade. The combination of Travis Perkins Group's ability to deliver technical expertise, product and a logistics solution, alongside Toriga's ability to provide finance and assessment can deliver a market leading proposition within the emerging Green Deal market.'
