Evans is DencoHappel UK md

UK: Yan Evans, vice president of Fläkt Woods UK since 2014, has been appointed managing director of DencoHappel UK.

Acquired by investment group Triton last year, Fläkt Woods was subsequently merged with DencoHappel in October. Triton had acquired DencoHappel in 2014 as part of its buy-out of GEA’s heat exchanger interests.

Yan Evans now also joins the DencoHappel board to lead the combined businesses in FläktGroup.

“Along with the existing team of David Pritchard (finance director) and David Hearne (sales director) I am committed to a strategy of continued growth for our two strong brands DencoHappel and Fläkt Woods,” he commented.
