Company Profile:

Set up in 2015, the business is based in north Wales and employs 13 people. Get Carter works across the UK delivering heating and plumbing services to commercial and domestic customers in the private and social housing sector.

Are your customer needs changing?

We are definitely seeing an increase in demand for renewable energy in homes as well as in commercial properties. But customers are telling us that the main reason for this is the need to reduce costs and save money in the long term as energy prices are on the rise.

Why did you decide to sign up to Sero Net Gwynedd?

I’m always keen to develop skills so it made sense for the business to take part in the scheme. As demand grows for more sustainable ways of heating homes, I wanted to make sure that we could meet demand as well as keep up with technology. I run a business and at the end of the day I want to be competitive.
