PRESS RELEASE 12/09/2011
Amgen announces renewable energy training courses and
five-fold expansion of Carmarthenshire facilities
Cross Hands Business Park, Carmarthenshire, 12th September 2011: Amgen
Renewables, a specialist in renewable energy technologies and
installations, is expanding its facilities five-fold and launching a
series of training courses for system installers and the general
public.
The courses, which typically run from 1-2 days will provide education
and training in solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal, biofuels,
ground and air source heat pumps, waste water heat recovery, rain water
harvesting, biofuels and other renewable energy sources.
Each course will cater for a maximum of 10 delegates, ensuring
individual attention to the needs and interests of each delegate. They
will be held at Amgen's new facility on Cross Hands Business Park,
Carmarthenshire, starting on October 10th. The new showroom and
training centre is five times larger than the company's previous
premises in Ammanford.
Commenting on the courses, Amgen's managing director, Dr. Peter Hughes,
said, "There are hundreds of companies now offering renewable energy
products and services to installers and consumers. However, few have
the expertise to provide unbiased, professional advice to ensure that
the right solution is applied in every situation, that the return on
investment is optimised for consumers, and that maximum energy is
extracted from each installation. By sharing our knowledge of a wide
range of alternatives, we aim to help both trade practitioners and
consumers make more informed choices and to advance the cause of low
carbon technologies through this initiative."
Amgen is demonstrating its products and services at Low Carbon Expo
2011 in Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on 16-17 September.
