The doors have closed on another incredible InstallerSHOW, and 2025 has truly marked a milestone moment for the entire CORGI Family.
As the UK’s biggest event for the heating, plumbing, and renewable sectors, InstallerSHOW brings together professionals, innovators, manufacturers, and educators from across the industry to share ideas, showcase technology, and shape the future of the installer profession.
This year, CORGI Services was proud to be right at the heart of the action on Stand 5G43, where we rolled out CORGI Trade nationwide, introduced CORGI Skills to a new wave of professionals, and shared insights on the importance of trust, training, and technology in the home improvement and retrofit space.
Nationwide Rollout: CORGI Trade Takes Centre Stage
One of the headline moments for us was the official national launch of CORGI Trade – our innovative new platform designed to connect homeowners with certified, local tradespeople they can trust.
After a successful pilot in southern Scotland, the platform is now rolling out across the UK, and InstallerSHOW was the perfect place to introduce CORGI Trade to the wider installer community.
Engineers and tradespeople at the event were invited to register their interest, explore the platform, and discover how CORGI Trade removes the noise of lead-generation marketplaces by connecting consumers directly to a single, vetted tradesperson at a time – reducing competition, improving customer experience, and making it easier for professionals to do what they do best.
Training for the Future: Introducing CORGI Skills
Also launching at the show was CORGI Skills, our new training and certification initiative that helps installers upskill in high-demand areas such as retrofit, PAS 2035 compliance, and low-carbon technologies.
We were excited to share a free introductory course on Low Carbon Technology, available by scanning the QR code on our stand. This offering sits alongside our partner, CORGI Technical, who also made their free “Understanding Damp and Mould” course available to attendees – equipping professionals with knowledge that’s not only in demand, but essential for improving the safety and sustainability of homes across the UK.
Live Engagement: A Space for Great Conversations
Across the three days, our stand became a hub of activity , from in-depth chats with engineers and contractors to networking with manufacturers, industry leaders, and fellow organisations shaping the future of the built environment.
We even had the chance to speak with Prince Ansah of P&A Gas Services Ltd, who stopped by to talk about his experience as a gas engineer, the challenges in the field, and his impressions of CORGI Trade. The short interview will be shared on our channels soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
Exploring the Future of the Installer Profession
Beyond the stand itself, CORGI Services was proud to contribute to a number of powerful conversations during InstallerSHOW’s industry sessions – including panels focused on:
- The future of the installer profession
- Upcoming regulations and how to prepare
- Low-carbon installations, green skills, and smart home tech
- Challenges and opportunities in social housing and retrofit
These sessions reflected the shared urgency across the sector to prepare for the future – through training, collaboration, and a commitment to quality and trust.
