The programme of work in the Berwick area has reached Tweedmouth, where Commercial Manager Mark Brewis and Project Manager Carl Dickson recently inspected the latest boiler installation at a tenant’s home.
Mark said: “The new boilers we are fitting are more energy efficient – helping to cut bills and bring peace of mind for tenants, which is a great feeling for our team to see the difference it makes to people’s lives.
“The work we are carrying out in the Berwick area is the latest phase in a rolling programme of work following on from our programme to fit more than 350 new boilers into homes in the Ashington area.”
