He believes that creating sustainable jobs in energy efficiency-related industries should be embedded in the implementation of future initiatives such as Green Deal, RHI and ESCO.
Alan is particularly proud of the 23 new jobs created as part of the Wirral Cosy Homes programme. This includes eight new trainee positions for local youngsters just starting their careers.
