Caerphilly-based SERS Energy Solutions Group - one of the UK’s leading experts in energy-saving technology and construction – will be celebrating its 25th year in business when it takes part in the UK’s largest social housing event – the Chartered Institute of Housing’s Housing 2014 conference and exhibition.

SERS, which is headquartered in Caerphilly, with offices in Stoke-onTrent and Lockerbie, will be marking its quarter century when it exhibits at the CIH annual conference in Manchester later this month.

Running from June 24 – 26, this is the largest housing conference in the UK, attracting more than 7,500 visitors and 100 expert speakers to discuss the key issues facing the housing sector.

SERS, which was listed in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 table of the UK’s fastest-growing private companies – will be taking a stand at the conference to get over its message of the need to use tried and trusted companies when insulating homes to reduce energy bills.

The conference will cover a wide range of housing issues including sustainability, innovation, investment, industry developments and housing supply..

SERS director Mike Roberts said it was important to get the energy efficiency message to as wide an audience as possible.

He said, “SERS supports all efforts to tackle home insulation, but there are a lot of opportunist companies springing up who cannot be relied upon to do a proper job on external wall insulation. It is a complex and technical job, and not one to be attempted by contractors who have not had the right training. At SERS we have 25 years experience in this field and have won many industry awards for our work.”

“The point that we are also keen to underline at this major exhibition and conference event is that whatever decisions may be made at Government level there are always opportunities to take advantage of technologies and funding streams which will make homes warmer and drastically cut fuel bills. A relatively modest investment in energy improvement can result in huge savings in energy costs.”

SERS is an expert in the design, supply and installation of energy saving solutions. One of the country’s leading specialists in external wall insulation for more than 20 years, the company also advises on and installs internal wall insulation, conventional heating systems, solar panels and a range of renewable technologies for homes and businesses across the UK. The SERS Energy Solutions Group has tripled in size in the last two years in terms of employee numbers and turnover, which is now £27.5m.
