Unlocking Haringey's Retrofit Market For Businesses

Are you a construction SME or an associated service, interested in learning more about the opportunities in Retrofit? If so, this is the perfect event to find out more. 

With Net 0 targets rapidly approaching, undertaking retrofit works represents a massive opportunity. Haringey has committed to being Net 0 by 2041. A needs assessment has valued the total investment needed to meet that target at £5.6 billion. On the 23rd of September at Clockwise Workspace in Wood Green, Haringey Council is convening an evening where businesses can attend and find out how to unlock local retrofit opportunities.

By attending you can come and meet representatives from: 

- Equans, a world leader in the energy and services sector with operations in 20 countries. In the UK Equans delivers decarbonisation across the built environment and is undertaking a large retrofit scheme in Haringey. Attendees can speak to Equans staff to find out more about their Warmer Homes contracts, including what’s required to become part of their supply chain.

- RetrofitWorks is a not-for-profit cooperative that unites contractors, installers, suppliers, and communities with a shared goal: to improve the energy efficiency of homes, reduce energy bills, and improve householder wellbeing. Attendees can speak to RetrofitWorks about how to access retrofit projects by joining their contractor network and sign up for ‘Power Up Homes’, a new renewable energy scheme installing solar PV, battery storage, and air source heat pumps. RetrofitWorks supports SMEs to de-risk their growth and expansion in the retrofit market by connecting members with a pipeline of work opportunities, training and upskilling.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

- Capital City College's Green Academy will be present, showcasing their suite of Green Skills Courses where qualifications can be gained in Solar Panels, Air Source Heat Pump Installation, Electrical Vehicle Charging Points and more. 

Please arrive from 6pm for the market style evening, where you can speak to stall holders at your own pace. At 6:30 Equans will be giving a 10 minute presentation on the retrofit project being undertaken in Haringey, previous examples of retrofit schemes and examples of subcontractors they use to complete these works.

Look forward to seeing you there!
