SNIPEF supports Quality Plumber Week 2017
SNIPEF is pleased to support the Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors’ (APHC) call for the industry to pull together to champion the diverse skills of plumbing and heating engineers and celebrate the important role that they play in keeping people healthy and safe.
QUALITY PLUMBER Week 2017 runs between 2-8 October. QPW17, as it
is referred to, aims to build upon the success of previous years to unite the entire industry in shining a spotlight on the vital role plumbers play in our communities.
APHC would like the whole industry
to come together during the week and
is calling for manufacturers, suppliers, plumbers and heating engineers to pledge their support and get involved over social media using the #QPW17 hashtag. During QPW17, APHC will be asking the industry to take part in Twitter Polls, to answer a daily plumbing question, to showcase their work by sharing photographs of
their quality installations and plumbing work and by sharing images of their
accreditations, qualifications and membership certificates. They are also seeking support from manufacturers and suppliers to donate prizes for a social media competition aimed at plumbers and heating engineers.
This year, QPW17 aims to promote the importance of continuous skills development to the industry and remind the public about the importance of choosing an appropriately qualified plumbing and heating engineer. It
also aims to provide consumers with advice for sourcing a quality plumber whilst reminding them to always check credentials.
Mark Antrobus, APHC’s President commented: “As a plumbing and heating engineer you can champion
your fellow industry professionals and protect people’s safety through helping them avoid using a rogue trader. You can show your support in many ways including using the official QPW17 logo and promotional materials which can be obtained from APHC’s website.”
