That taught me how to listen properly and tailor solutions, a mindset essential in insulation sales, where customers rely on you for clarity, technical guidance and confidence that they\u2019re choosing the right system for their project.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>He is passionate about Actis\u2019 ethos and product range<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI was drawn to Actis because it\u2019s a company that genuinely pushes the boundaries of what insulation can achieve. The Hybrid reflective technology is a great example of innovation with a real purpose. It isn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/demand-actis-riba-approved-cpd-soars-following-future-homes-standard-publication\/161846\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just a clever product<\/a>, it\u2019s a solution that improves comfort, energy efficiency and long term performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActis pairs this innovation with a clear commitment to its customers. Through technical support, training and tools like the U value simulator, the company makes it easy for builders, designers and homeowners to make informed decisions. It shows that Actis understands the responsibility that comes with working in a sector that directly affects people\u2019s homes, wellbeing and energy costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Away from work, Jake enjoys visiting National Trust properties with his Old English sheepdog Maya, whom he brought back to the UK from China, where he worked for four years, spending much of his time volunteering for animal charities.<\/p>\n<p>As passionate about animal welfare as he is about insulation, Jake takes part every year in the Battersea Cats and Dogs Home \u2018Muddy Dog Challenge,\u2019 a 5k obstacle course for owners and their dogs to raise money for pets in need of new homes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Wilson has been
