Airedale makes Wisely move

Duncan Wisely: promoting Artus

UK: Airedale has appointed Duncan Wisely as business development manager for its soon to be launched Artus hybrid low energy fan coil unit.

For the last 19 years he has been head of room comfort at Reading-based interior fit-out solutions company SAS International.

The Artus, which is due to be launched this autumn, was recently selected as a winner in the Ecobuild and M&S Big Innovation Pitch.

Born in partnership with consultants Arup, the Artus is described as a hybrid low-energy unit that combines the flexibility of a fan coil unit with the low energy consumption of a chilled beam.

“Having been involved with the unit in my previous employment, I am very excited to have the opportunity to promote this award-winning unit and really make a difference to the air conditioning of the future,” commented Duncan Wisely.
