Panting joins Fujitsu sales team

Neil-Panting
Neil Panting: “This is the job I always wanted”

UK: Neil Panting has joined the Fujitsu sales team as distribution account manager south.

Neil began in the industry in 1997 with refrigeration wholesaler NRS, starting in the warehouse and then moving to the air conditioning department. Following that he worked for other Fujitsu distributors, Wave and TF Solutions, becoming manager of the latter’s Dunstable branch.

In his new role, Neil will work with the company’s distributors in London and the south of England from Bedfordshire down.

“If you had asked me 15 years ago what my ideal job would be, I would have said, ‘join the sales team of an air conditioning manufacturer’, and my go-to equipment has always been Fujitsu,” he commented.

“Really, this is the job I always wanted with the manufacturer I like the most, so I look forward to supporting our distribution partners to help them grow their Fujitsu sales.”
