INSTALLERS FLOCK TO JOIN FENSA
» FENSA HAS ANNOUNCED RECORD
numbers of applications for the first half
of 2020, with more than 1,000 companies
applying to join the leading Competent
Person scheme between 1st January and 30th
June. This follows on from a hugely successful
TV advertising campaign run across 2019 and
2020 alongside two brand new radio ads being
played across the country during lockdown.
In addition, FENSA has seen an increase
in FENSA certificate enquiries over the past
three months while the country has been in
lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
June alone saw the FENSA website receive
over 40,000 postcode searches for the famous
FENSA certificate. Alongside this, over 5,000
emails from both homeowners and tradesmen
have been received and dealt with by its vastly
experienced team.
Chris Beedel, FENSA Director of
Membership, comments: “We know the last
three months have been hugely challenging
for all industries as we come to understand
how the country has been affected by
Covid-19. However, the sheer volume of calls
and emails we have had from both the trade
and homeowners during this time has been
staggering and it gives us a real sense that our
industry has hit the ground running.”
“The FENSA team have been fantastic in
dealing with an unprecedented demand of
enquiries. The FENSA certificate is something
which homeowners are now asking for in
their tens of thousands every month and
this has translated into the record number of
applications we have seen from companies
looking to join FENSA and provide their
customers with what they want.”
The last 18 months has seen a series of
exciting new initiatives from FENSA that
have been introduced as part of renewed
efforts to extend the services it offers to
consumers and its Approved Installers. These
include discounts at all TradePoint and B&Q
stores, homeowner finance packages, a suite
of specialised business-related insurance
products, plus the introduction of a new
workwear clothing package that offers a range
of tailored, affordable garments available at
exclusive rates to its Approved Installers.
