Mr Mangnall said: “Having been at the forefront of Jaga’s sales function for the past few years, I am incredibly passionate about the products and solutions that we offer. My aim is for Jaga to be the preferred choice for sustainable HVAC solutions and I’m delighted to be stepping up to the role of managing director, where I can put fresh ideas into practice to achieve this aim.”

Her time will be dedicated to providing support to meet the needs of the specification market, in response to growing demand for Jaga products and solutions in design specifications for commercial buildings, schools and residential developments.
As business development manager, Mr Vincent has been made responsible for advising customers on the best heating, cooling and ventilation solutions to meet their requirements. He previously held technical sales positions at other heating manufacturers such as Zehnder, where he gained a wealth of HVAC industry knowledge.
Mr Mangnall added: “A core aspect of our business is providing expert technical advice and consultancy to help find innovative and efficient solutions to complex heating and ventilation challenges. Therefore, we are continually investing in our sales teams to ensure we have the resources to provide the best possible service to our customers.
“I’d like to personally welcome Clare and Joe to the Jaga family and am looking forward to seeing what they bring to the business.”
