Furthermore, the award, combined with Mr Burrows’s ever growing list of credentials, brings enhanced benefits for Pegler Yorkshire, building confidence for customers safe in the knowledge that advice given, work carried out and services offered are supported with a comprehensive knowledge of both the product and plumbing systems as well as current regulations and standards.
