HEEPS: ABS 2019/20 and previous project years
Our managing agent for this period was Firefly Energi Orkney Ltd.
This company entered administration in 2021 and is no longer trading (Company number SC473999).
Following the installation of an energy efficiency measure, Firefly Energi Orkney Ltd registered and paid for an insurance-backed warranty. This was provided direct to householders by GDGC (now called Qualitymark Protection) and offers protection now that this installer has ceased trading.
Further information is available on the Quality Mark Protection website.
