It's been a long twelve months since this pandemic turned our worlds upside-down. With spring arriving and a roadmap steering us out of lockdown, we are pleased to be see that you will soon be able to open your doors to customers once again. Government has now confirmed that retailers in England and Wales can open on the 12th April and Scotland will follow shortly after on the 26th April. HETAS is proud to support retailers and we are now launching our #getfiredup campaign, encouraging consumers to shop local and get the best advice possible when choosing their heating system. SMEs account for three fifths of the employment and around half of turnover in the UK private sector and HETAS Approved Retailers play a vital role in supporting consumers on their journey to stove users. Getting the right advice from the very start is vitally important. Research has also identified that over 80% of consumers chose an independent retailer to purchase their stove. So it's time to #getfiredup and get ready to welcome back your customers from Monday 12th April.
