Daikin opens central London office

Simon Chapman: Daikin’s new central London area sales manager

UK: Daikin UK has opened a new office in central London to supplement its existing London office and headquarters in Weybridge, Surrey.

Based at 7 Harp Lane and within walking distance of London Bridge, Monument and Tower Hill stations, the new office is intended to offer customers improved project and application support in London.

Daikin UK has also restructured its sales teams, bringing together its contractor sales, specification, applied systems, application and quotation teams under a single area sales manager in each region.

The move is designed to create a strong collaborative environment, share project experience and provide clients with a superior level of customer service.

The new area sales manager for central London is former specification sales manager Simon Chapman, who has been with Daikin UK for 13 years.

Chapman said of the new offices, which feature an open ceiling showcasing the latest in Daikin VRV technology, “This new development highlights our continued commitment to invest in both our customers and staff within the UK. We encourage all of our customers and clients to meet with us in our new offices, and to think of our facilities as their own facilities, which they are welcome to use for meetings and client briefings.”
