Aura Retrofit Shortlisted for Octopus Trusted Partners Award
Following the prestigious win for Aura Retrofit being named Domestic Heating Contractor of the Year 2025, the Havant-based energy efficiency specialist company is delighted to announce that it has been shortlisted for another important industry award. This time for the Campaign of the Year at the Octopus Trusted Partners Awards.
The awards celebrate the installers at the forefront of the UK’s shift to cleaner energy. They highlight the companies delivering heat pumps, solar panels and other clean technologies for Octopus Energy customers when Octopus can’t do so directly, praising them for their impact, expertise, and commitment to excellence.
Hosted by Octopus, the awards will take place on Thursday, 26 March, 2026, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.
Bringing together leaders from across the clean energy sector, the evening will celebrate standout contributions to decarbonisation, innovation and customer service. Attendees will also enjoy a special appearance from former England rugby international Joe Marler, who recently finished in the final four of the first ever Celebrity Traitors.
Launched in 2024, the Octopus Trusted Partners programme was created to help ramp up the deployment of heat pumps and solar across the UK.
Following the government’s £15bn Warm Homes Plan ( https://www.auraretrofit.co.uk/warm-homes-plan/) and the extension of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to 2030, even more households can access support to install heat pumps and other clean tech. To help meet this growing demand, Octopus’ is partnering with trusted local installers* to deliver clean tech installations that Octopus can’t carry out itself.
Gary Robinson, Owner and Director at Aura Retrofit, said: “We are incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the leading installers in the UK. Being shortlisted for the Campaign of the Year is a testament to our team’s dedication to providing top-quality service and pushing the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions. We look forward to celebrating with fellow industry leaders on the night!”
