Airedale International has appointed Jonathan Jones as northern area sales manager.
He originally joined the company as an electrical and electronic engineering apprentice in 1992, gaining valuable knowledge of the business by working in a number of functions including manufacturing systems, new product development and special projects, before moving into applications where he provided office-based support for the firm's northern area sales engineers.

Then he moved into the field as sales engineer covering the north west of the UK.

After a three-year spell with a major air conditioning installer gaining experience in full turnkey packages, he returned to Airedale in 2009.

His decade or so of working in the field has seen him build strong relationships with key clients and consultants and has given him the broad experience needed to head Airedale's regional team of seven engineers.
