Towergate launches new Energy Certification Service to help
SME’s meet requirements of new European Directive
Towergate Partnership today announces the launch of a new Energy
Certification Service designed to help SME's meet the requirements
of the European Energy Performance Buildings Directive which came
into force earlier this year.
The new Directive requires all types of property in the UK to
have in place an appropriate Energy Certificate which provides an
energy efficiency rating and suggestions on how to improve energy
efficiency of the building. The Certificate is required on the
construction or substantial modification / extension of a building;
on the sale or letting of a building; on an annual basis for all
public buildings over 1000sqm.
Towergate has selected Personal Touch Energy Surveyors (PTES) as
their partner to provide a professional and competitively priced
energy certification service. PTES boasts a national team of
appropriately qualified and accredited energy surveyors who will
provide clients with the required Energy Performance or Display
Energy Certificate, along with a simple report and advice on how to
improve energy efficiency.
Matthew Reed, Sales & Marketing Director for Towergate Risk
Solutions said, "We recognise the implications of this new
legislation to our large SME client base and have responded
accordingly by introducing a service which fully meets the
requirements of the new Directive. It also demonstrates our ability
to offer an added value service to our clients which will provide
them with the peace of mind they need."
Dev Malle, Director of PTES said "We're delighted to be teaming
up with Towergate to offer this important service to its commercial
clients. Both Towergate and PTES which is part of the Personal
Touch Group have an unrivalled regional presence through which we
can provide clients with a local and trusted service. We see
Towergate as an important addition to our corporate partners."
