Salary Inflation or Skills Crisis?

Good news? The industry is booming.
Reality? We’re heading toward a serious skills shortage.

Pre-pandemic: £45-55k + bonus = great HVAC sales package
2026: £65-70k + bonus = standard (no team management)

That’s a big jump in a short time.

Good news? The industry is booming.

Reality? We’re heading toward a serious skills shortage.

Retirements are coming.

New talent isn’t keeping up.

So what happens next?

More salary inflation…or a rethink on how we attract people into the sector?
