Industry Associates & Partners

Why we are partnered with these associations

At Bell Plumbing, we are passionate about supporting our industry and raising its profile to the wider public. Having a warm home and hot water on demand is often taken for granted when in fact it is down to the skill of a qualified plumbing and heating engineer.

It is important that we keep pace with the market and our suppliers as more and more new products and new technologies enter and change the industry. To ensure we are best placed to do this, we are active members with the industry’s leading associations such as CIPHE and the BMF. We understand that to become a qualified heating engineer you need to have completed a 4-year apprenticeship, register with the industry gas regulator ‘Gas Safe’ and, once qualified, take regular refresher courses to keep up to date with new regulations and technologies. Therefore, we work closely with Elements Training and Assessments Centre to support gas engineers in completing their qualifications.

Corporate Social Responsibility

West Midlands Air Ambulance

At Bell Plumbing, we feel privileged and proud to work with local charities and organisations and are delighted to be partnered with West Midlands Air Ambulance who are a perfect fit as they operate across all of our branch locations. If a patient reaches hospital within the Golden hour (60 minutes after their injury), their chances of survival are dramatically increased. That is why rapid response is so vital in an emergency situation and it is important for us to support their charitable work. Donations can be made on our trade counters and at all of our trade events throughout the year.
