Just to reply to Daryl Govan - Enact Energy ; Odd that a Local heating engineer self employed one man band is not welcome to apply to be an installer with your company : And Worcester Bosch Local heating engineers have supported your products and service for years, how about a little support in return?

From a corporate perspective this makes sense, Worcester access all of tesco customer base for potential trade, tesco offer financial incentives, club card points etc. and make the customer feel that 'every little helps'. However, the customer must get intelligent and ask if they will actually get a quality installation, will the installer have any motivation to do a good job which may lead to further business through additional work or word of mouth? Ultimately will the cost to the local economy be too much to bear? Enact are looking for companies with 5 installers - get real! Most SME's can't sustain those numbers of employees, much less work over a large geographical area, this is heading toward disaster for both companies with loyal installers seeing the light and realising that you are the 'every little helps' sacrifice that will line the shareholders wallets. Installers must now ask if Worcester are a company worth their business.

once again internet rubbish based on trade counter chatter rather than fact, has anyone asked Worcester about this - cos I have, and plain and simply it s a good thing that a company using Tesco as a trading partner has decided to use a top uk brand (as the boilers are made in Worcester). The company handling to installs for tesco are using LOCAL Worcester installers to do the work, with the installers buying the boilers from their local merchant not direct from Worcester or supported by Worcester. So I can t see why this would alienate the merchants or hurt those who have fitted worcesters for years.....So good news for local installers and merchants, if only people asked when there were not sure rather than talk rubbish!!!!!

Excellent news to start 2012 with. Now Worcester are in bed with Enact & Tesco the true local installer is now finally encouraged to look and offer alternatives. Having been forced to sell Worcester products for the last 30 plus years simply because of a well known brand name we now have the opportunity to make homeowners more aware of alternatives for boilers that can be consider better than Worcester (especially concerns such as restrictions in current water ways and the heat exchanger).

You can even buy a Worcester boiler a German brand from B & Q no wonder the independent shops are suffering.....Support the British company's such as Ravenheat

If there are any installers interested in working with Enact Energy, with regards the Tesco Project and others. Please feel free to get in touch with us. We ae always interested in talking to Installers any where in the country. If you are Gas, lpg or MCs approved, and have a track record of quality installations, with more than 5 installers,and can cover several postcode areas, please give us a ring.

having fitted hundreds of worcester boilers, this is a sad day for all the worcester approved specialists installers, "time to move on to a new product"

We are a local installer and we would welcome this idea as it is time someone took on British Gas and the other big players. This might be a breathe of fresh air to the market place as long as we get some work?

Yet another hit to the local high street by the greedy nationals. As a local gas engineer, times are tough enough without supermarkets trying to take our business. All they will do, like BG, is farm out the work to the cheapest contractors and the customer will end up with an expensive installation of moderate quality. By all means, feed the boated multi-nationals and starve your own community . . . .
