Everwarm, part of the Sureserve, has been appointed by Leeds City Council as end-to-end delivery contractor for its HUG 2 scheme, which will involve installing energy efficiency measures in customers’ homes, and ensuring the highest level of quality and customer care is delivered. Leeds City Council has been awarded £15m in HUG 2 funding, which will target up to 750 fuel poor homes for retrofit.
