Aira opens Crayford training academy

The new Aira training academy was opened by new Labour MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford Daniel Francis

UK: Swedish heat pump company Aira has officially opened its London training academy in Crayford.

The 1,238m2 training facility and local area hub on the Acorn Industrial Park in Crayford will extend the Swedish company’s reach across London and the south of England. 

The Academy is dedicated to delivering high-quality training for the Aira sales team, designers, installers, electricians and all those involved in heat pump installations, from London to the Midlands and Cornwall to Norfolk.

Aira’s new London base will be headed by academy manager Georgia Laws, a former Ealing Council officer and international teacher.

“At our best-in-class facilities, we will focus on training individuals to become the next generation of heat pump installers and increasing the green skills workforce,” she said. “The long-term goal is to offer people with no prior experience, or those at the start of their career, high-quality training so they too can join the Aira family and much-needed clean energy revolution.”
