The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) is reinforcing the vital importance of ongoing skills development for all engineers, contractors and operatives involved in the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of pump systems across UK industry.
With pumping systems playing a critical role in sectors ranging from construction and water management to energy, manufacturing and processing, the BPMA is calling on employers to prioritise technical training as a route to improved efficiency, compliance and sustainability.
Pumps account for over 20% of the world’s electrical energy consumption, and the potential for energy savings through correct system design, operation and maintenance is significant.
Wayne Rose, CEO of the BPMA, commented: “As pumping systems become more advanced and energy performance targets more demanding, the need for qualified, knowledgeable personnel has never been greater.
“Our training programmes are independently developed and quality assured to provide engineers, contractors and plant operatives with the expertise required to make informed, efficient decisions across the lifecycle of a pump system. The benefits to employers and the wider economy are clear – better skills mean better outcomes, both commercially and environmentally.”
