association of plumbing and heating contractors (training)
London
The Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC) is a not-for-profit
trade body for the plumbing and heating industry in England and Wales. We have
been a plumbers association since 1925 and represent large plumbing and heating
companies working on commercial projects, to sole traders working in domestic
properties. Supporting our members Being a member of APHC distinguishes
professional plumbers and heating contractors from the rogue traders. As an
association we are committed to helping plumbers and heating contractors run
professional and profitable businesses, whilst ensuring consumers have better
standards of workmanship and service. We are a membership organisation which is
owned and run by our members for our members. We’re also a not-for-profit
organisation which means we invest every penny that we receive back into our
organisation for the direct benefit of each and every member. We offer a
comprehensive range of benefits for plumbing and heating contractors through our
Licensed Membership and Certification Membership Schemes. Promoting best
practice We work closely with key organisations such as Government, Local
Authorities, Training Bodies and Consumer Organisations to ensure that best
practice in the industry is promoted and that quality plumbing and heating
contractors are fairly represented. Ways we support our members We provide
plumbing and heating contractors with support and guidance through our free
helplines, business guides and document templates allowing them to run
professional and profitable businesses. We have collective buying power, so our
members benefit from discounts and savings on business insurance, breakdown
cover, petrol and diesel, vehicle loans and MOTs amongst many other products and
services. Our discounted training programme and training rewards scheme
encourages best practise and skill development within the industry and provides
consumers with the reassurance of quality workmanship. We use our lobbying power
and represent our members so that they can shape industry policy and
legislation. MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
