UK: Carrier UK has created a new sales team for the London area under sales manager Chris Pinn.

The move follows the recent announcement by new Carrier UK md Richard Jones that he intends the Carrier brand to take a more “positive” stance in the marketplace.

Chris, who has previous experience with Woods, Vent Axia, Trox and Dunham Bush and has been with Carrier since July last year, will supervise a team of eight. This will comprise three specification salesmen, Dave Evans, Danny Lear and John Foster, and a direct sales team made up of Peter Gauntlett and James Prosser and new faces Craig Capeling and Danny McGrath.

Explaining the move, Richard Jones said: “I felt it was very important in London of all places to be able to demonstrate our new commitment to our customers with a refocused, strongly-led team.”
