Whether you’re installing a heat pump in a community building or constructing a community wind, solar or off-grid project, working well with contractors is essential. In this session we focus on how to be a good client and successfully manage and support your contractors.

In this session we’re joined by:

- Kyle Smith, Project Manager, Knoydart Renewables. Kyle discusses how to manage contractors from a community perspective. Kyle also discusses the Knoydart project, its challenges and how these were addressed and overcome, opportunities and how to get the best outcomes, lessons learned, and tips for others.

- Jamie Storry, National Sales Manager, Emtec Energy. Jamie gives a contractor’s experience of working with both community groups and private commercial clients, taking a look at what makes a client and their project attractive to a contractor.

- John Maslen, Business Development Manger, Locogen Consulting. John offers some top tips for project success for community groups looking to work with consultants, advisors, contractors, engineers and other professionals. This is based on Locogen’s extensive experience working with over 100 community groups across the UK on energy projects.

This session was held as part of the CARES Conference 2022: Community Climate Action, on Tuesday 27 September 2022.
