Roger Palamarczuk retires

UK: Roger Palamarczuk, sales manager of Leatherhead-Based Humidity Solutions, has retired after 50 years in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

Starting as a trainee at Prestcold’s commercial refrigeration business in Bedford in 1968, he moved into the air conditioning business in the late 80s with Carrier, via its former distributor Weathermaker. During his career Roger also held sales management positions at a number of well known companies including Climate Center, Toshiba and Dean & Wood.

Humidification has occupied his most recent employment. He spent a number of years as sales manager under the Vapac banner at Eaton Williams, prior to his six years at Humidity Solutions.

“Humidity Solutions has been six years of fun culminating in a really nice send off at their recent 10 Year Anniversary celebration,” he said
