Thank you to our 2023 Headline Sponsors:

Wayne Burgess, Heating Engineer

This heating engineer’s world was turned upside down when his wife was diagnosed with cancer.

Wayne put his business and life on hold to care for her as she battled and overcame the disease.

Unfortunately, as soon as she got the all-clear, he himself was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The industry came together to support him during this tough time, raising money, keeping his spirits up, and making themselves available to answer a phone call or a text message.

Now he wants to give back and is spreading the power of positivity in the industry.

Tony Rees, Gas Engineer and Trainer

While fighting his own battle with cancer, Tony saw first-hand how the disease can affect the lives of the people, the families and the friends of those going through it. It is especially tough to see young children dealing with these circumstances, so Tony came up with an innovative and fun way to support them and raise funds.

His Gaming Fun bus has raised over £2,500 for the Royal Marsden Charity Centre and spread joy around the UK.

James Anderson, DEPHER

DEPHER epitomises what MERIT is all about. Installers working on the tools every day will encounter vulnerable and disabled people who struggle to afford repairs and new installations when they have problems with their heating system.

Heating engineer James Anderson decided to do something about it, and came up with DEPEHR, a solution to provide heating and plumbing emergency support, gas, electricity and even food, to those who need it most.

Since 2017, the organisation has helped over 2 million people in the United Kingdom, raising and donating millions of pounds in boilers, gas, electricity and food to vulnerable people.
