RPS Group is ramping up its Yorkshire expansion with the launch of two new offices in North and West Yorkshire, marking a major step in its strategy to drive sustained growth across the county.
The move is in response to increasing demand for home upgrades across Yorkshire and the Humber. Around 500,000 homes in the region are expected to need heating and energy efficiency upgrades under the UK Government’s Warm Homes Plan to retrofit five million properties nationwide.
RPS Group has improved thousands of homes for housing associations and local authorities by making them more energy-efficient, reducing bills for often low-income, fuel-poor households and cutting carbon emissions.
The contractor’s landmark retrofit programme with Together Housing, now in its fourth and final year, has delivered air-source heat pump upgrades to more than 1,200 homes across Yorkshire.
As part of wider works including ground-source heat pumps and solar PV installations, over 1,400 homes have been improved, making it one of the UK’s largest low-carbon domestic retrofit programmes.
The company has also landed heat and energy retrofit projects with York City Council, Broadacres Housing Association and Vico Homes.
“Around Yorkshire and the Humber, there’s around half a million homes expected to require retrofitting, with a significant proportion being local authority and housing association properties” said Graham Rothwell, the founder and owner of RPS Group.
“Many will need new heating systems and renewable energy solutions over the coming decade, so it makes sense for RPS Group to establish a dedicated, permanent presence to support local delivery, drive growth, and manage complex logistics.”
“We chose Northallerton and Pontefract because they are strategically located to service projects both in Yorkshire and North East of England, where we currently have other contracts in place.”
