New regional inspector appointed
We are pleased to announce that Paul Henry has joined the OFTEC Inspectorate and will soon be visiting registered technicians throughout Northern Ireland.
Paul will be well known to many through his previous role as principal lecturer and assessor for the South Eastern Regional College in Newtownards for many years.
Paul also sits on the OFTEC Scheme Committee to represent the heating sector in Northern Ireland, meaning that feedback he receives on the ground can be directly fed back into OFTEC’s scheme governance.
Is Richard OFTEC’s most experienced technician?
After over 50 years in the industry, Richard Watt may be one of OFTEC’s most experienced technicians
After over 50 years working on the tools, 87-year-old Richard Watt has finally decided to put away his tools for good.
Richard is believed to be OFTEC’s oldest (experienced) technician, having worked in the heating and plumbing industry most of his adult life at his company R.S. Watt Plumbing and Heating, based in the Aberdeen area.
Richard states “I reached the age of 87 years. I now feel that after over 50 years, it is time to stop working or at least slow down”.
The industry, we’re sure, not to mention his customers, will miss his knowledge and expertise, but we think we can all wish Richard a very happy retirement.
