Speaking at the recent launch of the new partnership, Philip Hosford – CEO Gurranabraher Credit Union said “We have seen a huge increase in demand from our members for Home Improvement Loans for retrofit and Energy Saving updates to their homes. So it made sense to us to provide a one stop shop for the whole process. With Energy-Hub we have found a partner with it roots firmly in the community with a similar community ethos to ours”
