The flagship facility represents a significant investment in professional development, providing a dedicated centre of excellence for engineers to train on the latest heating and cooling technologies.

The new training centre spans approximately 1,300 square metres and has been converted from a former warehouse to create a cutting-edge learning environment.

David Dunn, Managing Director, UK&I, Carrier RLC EMEA, said: “This investment in training excellence is a major step in supporting the future of the UK’s HVAC industry. We are committed to equipping engineers across the country with the knowledge and expertise they need to work with the most advanced solutions available today.”

During the official opening, industry professionals, customers and partners were offered an exclusive first look at the facility, with the ribbon cutting by England and Sale Sharks rugby stars George Ford and Ben Curry.

This opening marks the first phase of a broader initiative, with additional training centres set to open in Wakefield, Telford, London Colney and Plymouth later this year.

David added: “Our goal is to make high-quality training accessible to engineers nationwide. By expanding our network of brand-standard training centres, we are ensuring that professionals up and down the country can train on all the equipment from across the Carrier Solutions UK portfolio, be backed by a 10-year warranty, and remain at the forefront of HVAC innovation.”
