HVCA draws up 3-year strategic plan
The Heating & Ventilating Contractor’s Association has devised a strategic plan to advance the interests of its members over the next three years. Called ‘Responding to change’, the plan took six months to develop and underlines the association’s commitment to equipping its members to operate profitably, to improving the commercial environment for building-services engineering and to promoting competence and professionalism across the sector.
Roderick Pettigrew, deputy chief executive of HVCA, says, ‘To deliver on these commitments, the HVCA’s efforts over the next three years will be focused on four key areas of action.
‘These four areas are: commercial recovery and risk management; employment relations and lifelong learning; environment, sustainability and energy use; and standard, competence and qualification.
‘To remain effective, every industry organisation must constantly review and re-examine its strategies, initiatives and activities and must be prepared to recast or fine tune them in line with member needs.’
On the issues of environment, sustainability and energy use, the HVCA is committed to ensuring that members gain maximum commercial advantage from the increasing demand for sustainable solutions across the built environment. The association is actively engaged in the initiatives being taken forward by M&E Sustainability, its joint venture with the Electrical Contractors’ Association.
