    Discussing The Biggest Gas Regulation Changes In A Decade w/ Terry Sawyer

    If you're not on social media, not reading Gas Safe updates, and only picking up regulation changes at your five-year ACS renewal, you might already be behind.  Terry Sawyer spent years as a Gas Safe inspector in East London and Essex before returning to the tools, and he saw firsthand how much can drift in that window.  In this episode he goes through the regulation changes that caught engineers out most consistently, why so many small updates go unnoticed, and why the new IGEM UP1B tightness test procedure is in a different category to everything that came before it. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Free one-page Edition 4 guide: https://gasengineersoftware.co.uk/blog/igem-up-1b-edition-4-changes-calculating-installation-volume/ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Installation Volume Calculator:https://gasengineersoftware.co.uk/resources/gas-installation-volume-calculator/

    What Retirement Actually Looks Like After 50 Years In The Trade w/ Steve & Mark Hall

    Most gas engineers have no exit plan. They work until their body gives out, close the doors, and walk away from something that could have been worth real money. Steve Hall spent 50 years building SMH Gas Specialist and made sure that didn't happen to him. In this episode, he and his son Mark explain why you should be thinking about your exit at least 5-10 years out, what your customer base is actually worth, and what to do if your body gives out before your retirement plan is ready.

    What Taking On Another Engineer's Customer Base Actually Looks Like w/ Dan Giles

    There's a faster way to grow a heating business than hiring one engineer and hoping it all works out. Three years into running Phoenix Gas Home Care as a sole trader, he acquired the customer base of another local gas business, brought their engineers over, and used it to fundamentally change the shape of his company overnight. It's not something you hear about often in the trades, but in this episode he explains how it actually worked, what he'd do differently, and why more engineers should be thinking about it.

    Behind Anton FGAs: The Manufacturer's Perspective w/ Kieran Carter

    Most engineers have strong opinions about their flue gas analyser. Very few have thought about what it looks like from the manufacturer's side. Kieran Carter is an account manager at Anton by Crowcon, the team behind Sprint Pro, and he speaks to engineers every day.  In this episode, he covers how engineers actually choose their analyser, the features most people don't know they have, how engineer feedback shapes what gets built next, and where FGA technology is heading in the next few years.

    How A UK Plumbing Apprentice Brought Clean Water To A Nepal Village w/ Daisy Turner

    There is more to this trade than airing cupboards and boiler swaps. Daisy Turner went halfway around the world with a handful of tools, a language barrier, and the same plumbing principles she uses every day, and left a village in Nepal with clean running water for the first time. This episode covers the project in full, what it did for the community, and why Daisy thinks every engineer should be thinking beyond their day job. The opportunities are out there if you just put your name in the hat. https://www.ciphe.org.uk/professional/careers--trainees/PlumbingProfessionalDvelopmentScheme/ https://plumberscompany.org.uk/

So why are gas engineers constantly undercutting each other?  Dean Jones has built his business by refusing to race to the bottom, and in this episode he explains why lowering your prices doesn't solve the problem, what it does to your reputation long-term, and how engineers end up busy but broke without ever realising why.

    The Honest Truth About Plumbing Apprenticeships w/ Daisy Turner

    Her headteacher called her into the office and told her she was too smart to do construction. She became a plumber anyway, and went on to win national competitions, volunteer in Nepal, become a brand ambassador and a UK board director, all while holding down a full-time apprenticeship.  Daisy Turner joins Tulloch to talk about what getting into the trade actually looks like in 2026, and why the apprenticeship system needs a serious rethink.  #GasEngineerPodcast #GasEngineerSoftware #PlumbingApprentice #WomenInTrades #Apprenticeship #HeatingEngineer #PlumbingAndHeating #TradeVsUniversity #WomenInConstruction
