The Manchester facility, located in Orbit Development’s Cavendish House in Sale, complements Samsung’s existing Climate Solutions training centre in Chertsey, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to supporting installers to upskill in advancing technologies in the heating and cooling industry.

Scott Young, national training manager at Samsung Climate Solutions, said: “I’ve always valued hands-on learning. Practical on-site training allows knowledge to sink in and become intuitive. The new Manchester training centre, along with our established Chertsey facility, is a testament to our commitment to helping installers effectively fit the full range of Samsung Climate Solutions products. Additionally, we provide extensive online resources through our Samsung Business Academy. The online platform provides greater flexibility so learning can take place around installers’ busy schedules.”

“At Samsung Climate Solutions, we are committed to sharing our expertise in heat and cooling technology and offering support in design, planning and commissioning, ensuring installers have a reliable safety net. Through the courses we offer, installers will learn how to implement efficient heating and cooling systems to give them the skills they need to advise their customers in technologies that are evolving every day.”

The new Manchester facility underscores Samsung Climate Solutions’ dedication to fostering a skilled workforce capable of meeting the growing demand for energy-efficient heating solutions. The centre has recently been refurbished and now includes the addition of a cosy garden room with a coffee and break-out area, along with a new Peloton suite and electric charging stations.

Young continued: “We’re also actively engaging with colleges to inspire the next generation of trade professionals. Joining forces with the social enterprise Your Energy Your Way has led to a successful traineeship scheme for aspiring heating installers. The trainees are amazing and are taking to it well. This initiative shows how a clear pathway to becoming a qualified heating engineer can be established, providing a model for further efforts and other organisations to replicate.”
