Peebles leaves Pump House

UK: Pump House sales director Craig Peebles has stepped down from the company he formed in 2000.

The announcement sees the Nottingham-based condensate pump and ancillary product supplier, which was acquired by US supplier DiversiTech Corp last year, promoting June Richardson to sales and marketing director and Paul Greengrass to the new role of business development director.

David Bass continues as managing director.

Paul Greengrass is promoted from product manager heating to business development director and June Richardson is promoted from sales and marketing manager to sales and marketing director

Diversitech president and CEO Jim Prescott has joined the Pump House board along with chief operating officer Jonathan Evans and Diversitech’s VP business development Richard Sjogren.

In a statement, Pump House said Craig Peebles was leaving to focus on family life and thanked him for creating and helping to grow a significant business within the industry.

“I’ve had some wonderful times at Pump House and met some special people, both in the business and as customers. I’m a people person more than anything, that is the part that I enjoy most and it is certainly going to be one of the things I miss the most,” he said.
