Unusually, Gary’s background isn’t in heating and ventilating but in medical technology where, for over 30 years, he’s developed his skills in delivering added value to customers across Europe for Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Siemens Medical and the British Armed Forces.

Speaking about his appointment, Stephen Zouch, managing director, Intergas Heating Solutions, said: “The industry is at a tipping point and we need to drive change to combat the climate crisis, while supporting all our customers to access energy-efficient heating and hot water solutions. In Gary we don’t just have commercial and operational acumen, but a fresh pair of eyes which, I believe, can only be of benefit to us and the industry.”

Gary says he can’t think of a better time to join the team: “I’m delighted to be part of such a positive and progressive company that has such solid eco credentials. We’ve already achieved zero waste to landfill and, as part of Rheem, we now have global reach and are working together to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2025. The heating and ventilation market is in a state of flux, but we are developing practical, green strategies that will help us deliver exceptional value to our merchants and installers as well as our end users.”
