For all the confusion the electrics industry has had with our part P providers (NICEIC, NAPIT,ELECSA, ECA etc) I have envied the gas installers with a body that is universally accepted and even named after the queens dogs! Now some pathetic marketing bloke (or comittee) has decided to re-brand! Complete re-organisation in March!

Snickers, Aviva, Zavvi, British Aerospace and now CORGI! Sad!

Still -puts us on a more even footing with the Gas blokes now that everyone is confused!

 
capita, lol...

god knows whats going to happen. i cant renew my corgi and it runs out in 8 weeks ...

oh dear . :)

i have been on a trainign course all week and even the governing bodies dont know whats happening yet.

 
It seems that they don't know as it's not on their website - think it's going to be National Register of Gas Installers or something like.

Can't help feeling this is because Corgi diecast models have the monopoly on Corgi named websites! (Gas is Trustcorgi.com)

We need to rebrand

nope corgi is dead in the water.

they still want us to pay 8 pound a month for the magazine.. :)

Nothing to do with a marketing bloke it was the HSE who decided to end CORGI's control of gas installations and give it to a new body.

 
maybe leave it as it is and avoid the confusion in the first place!And since its due out on april 1st, do you think thats when they will announce that it was really a joke all along

I think it is wrong that if you work on boilers you have to belong to corgi. I think there should be a choice like the part p providers. It would get costs down if there was competition. I am suprised government has allowed this to happen with monopolies commision.

there should be choice available. at least sparkys have a choice, even tho NIC think there the only choice. if they are gonna try and bring in another provider, they should also keep corgi.

but that way they wouldnt make as much as they would by changing it from one to another, with no option
