The two will provide customers in the North West with many years’ combined experience in process cooling and data centre applications.

Rob joined the industry as an apprentice with one of the biggest refrigeration and air conditioning contractors before moving into application sales and later project management and then into field sales. His 33 years in the industry have seen him involved in a diversity of projects ranging from a £1m heating and cooling installation for Stafford Crown Court to clean rooms for the University of Heraklion, Crete.  

Rob and Paul report into Jonathan Jones who was promoted to northern area sales manager earlier this year. Jonathan said: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to Airedale. His extensive background across a wide range of solutions including air handling units and strong project management skills are a perfect fit with the team and, armed with his hefty dose of humour,  I’m convinced our partners and customers in the North West will find him a great addition to the team and a pleasure to deal with.”
