Fernox, the chemical water treatment and filter manufacturer, has appointed Dan Osman as national OEM and business development manager.

The newly-created role provides a vital link between Fernox and original equipment manufacturers. In addition, it will serve to create stronger relationships with key industry boards, allowing the company to advise on best practice procedures and consult on legislation updates.

Dan first joined Fernox in 2008 as area sales manager for the North East and Yorkshire, before becoming northern regional sales manager. This latest role will allow him to work more closely with OEM partners, providing both technical and commercial support.

In addition, the new position will allow Fernox to offer guidance to more businesses in the UK – helping teams to understand the requirements when it comes to chemical water treatment as well as the financial and energy benefits, before identifying appropriate solutions. This dedicated role will help Fernox to communicate its extensive knowledge to the industry - consulting with organisations such as the HHIC, ICOM, BEAMA and ESTR.
