Last week, I met with representatives from @OFTEC and @UKIFDA to learn more about the issues those who live in rural areas of North East Fife face in terms of decarbonising their heating, and how renewable liquid fuels could be an affordable, easy and non-disruptive solution.
We've partnered with @OFTEC, meaning OFTEC registered technicians can now apply for a Which? Trusted Traders accreditation.
This is what Phil Amy, Which? commercial director and Malcolm Farrow, OFTEC head of public affairs had to say about the new partnership.
ALT “Which? Trusted Traders is delighted to announce a new partnership with OFTEC, aimed at helping reputable installers gain greater recognition and exposure in the market.
While OFTEC demonstrates to consumers that a business has been certified by a competent persons scheme, an endorsement from Which? Trusted Traders reassures consumers that an installer has been also verified by the UK’s consumer champion.”

ALT “We were attracted to working with Which? because of their brand and the huge value that consumers place on it.
This partnership is an opportunity to give the technicians that register with the OFTEC competent person scheme the opportunity to access Which? Trusted Traders and increase their exposure to potential customers by showing that they’re committed to the very highest levels of customer service and reputable trading.”
