“Why Every Industry Needs a Trade Association? – with Chris Ridge from TICA”

In this episode of B2B Energy Speaks Back, I’m joined by Chris Ridge, Technical Policy Manager at TICA, the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association.

We unpack the powerful role TICA plays in driving the UK’s insulation industry forward—from skills development and workforce support to setting technical standards across the sector.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• The role of insulation in reducing energy waste

• Why trade associations are critical for industry cohesion

• How TICA is influencing the energy and construction sectors

• The future of insulation on the road to net zero

This episode brings fresh perspective to one of energy management’s most underestimated tools: insulation.
