Equipped for the future

Daikin UK has supplied air source heat pump technology to the newly opened Advanced Green Technology Centre at Stoke-on-Trent College’s Burslem Campus, in the 46th installation of Daikin equipment delivered through its ongoing partnership with renewable training specialist Quantum Group.

The latest project in the Daikin/Quantum partnership underlines both organisations’ shared commitment to closing the UK’s green skills gap and building the workforce needed to deliver Net Zero.

The £2.3 million centre, which opened in May 2026 with the support of government funding channelled through Stoke-on-Trent City Council, features industry-standard facilities including heat pump technology, solar PV systems, electric vehicle charging training bays and wall insulation training.

It is designed to equip learners in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire with the technical skills needed to build and maintain the low-carbon built environment.

The Stoke-on-Trent College installation is the latest example of the Daikin/Quantum partnership in action. Since the two organisations began working together, Quantum has installed Daikin heat pump equipment in 46 further education colleges across the UK, creating practical hands-on training environments in which the next generation of renewable engineers can develop the skills the industry urgently needs.
