From now until January the leading merchant will be hosting trade mornings from 8am-1pm where installers can ask the experts about new technologies as well as receive advice on how to upsell and introduce the features to their own customers.
As part of its commitment to having the most knowledgeable staff in the industry, Plumb and Parts Center will also be training staff across the network during the tour. Branch staff will complete 12 training modules before being given a working smart controls demo for customers to trial in their local branch.
Simon Allan, category director for smart controls at Plumb and Parts Center said: “The popularity of smart controls is set to continue to grow, opening up a striking market opportunity in the heating sector. Installers already own the skills to capitalise on this shift, they just need the support to go out and sell.
“We’re leading the way by becoming the only merchant to offer a full portfolio of smart controls and expert knowledge in more than 500 branches UK-wide.”
