Reporting to the Fujitsu General Air Conditioning (UK) board of directors, Mr Carroll will take full control of all aspects of the UK business.

He brings many years of industry experience to the role, having most recently served as the company’s sales and marketing director.

Mr Carroll joined Fujitsu in April 2014, having since made a significant contribution to the company’s growth and its UK market share – something that he is determined to develop in his new role. This will be achieved by continuing to build close relationships with distributors, installers and consulting engineers.

Mr Carroll said: “I am immensely proud to have been appointed chief operating officer. Since joining Fujitsu, I have seen the company go from strength to strength, especially in terms of developing technologically advanced products. We have already made great strides in growing our position in the UK air conditioning market, and I am looking forward to the next few years as we work towards achieving further success.”
