Nigel Donohue

Nigel Donohue has been the Chief Executive Officer at The IAA Group since 2016. He has been responsible for transforming The IAA Group into a market-leading compliance body across the insulation and renewable energy sectors. Nigel is the insulation installer lead on the PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 steering groups, collating and representing industry views on the development of standards, and sits on several bodies, including the CLC People and Skills Working Group, the Government Green Jobs Taskforce, and the Optimised Skills for Retrofit Working Group in Wales. He led the development of Insulation and Building Treatments Occupational Standards across the insulation sector and ensured that these are mirrored across the mandatory technical competencies required for the Competent Persons Schemes (CPS) and Working Group 2 for high-risk residential buildings. More recently, under Nigel’s leadership, The IAAF has been responsible for commissioning research into Labour Market Intelligence, a career pathway paper for the retrofit sector and the development of the level 2 and 3 insulation operative and technician apprenticeships. The organisation is currently developing a sector skills strategy for the industry. The launch of the organisation's National Energy Efficiency Centre as a partnership between industry and the education sector has helped further evidence the organisation's commitment to improving the competence of the sector.
