“The Net Zero Opportunity” will be of particular interest to young people, trades and those thinking of installing air-source heat pumps or perhaps retraining for this growth area.

There will be two speakers – Greg Steel, curriculum and learning manager for sustainable construction at Borders College; and Richard Moncur, regional business manager at Vaillant Heat Pumps (Scotland).
