Hayley Kent joins as area sales manager (Midlands). She was previously a business development manager at Daikin UK and prior to that spent 13 years in sales roles for Mitsubishi Electric.

She said: “I am delighted to join Fujitsu and work with a product range that has already had so much success through wholesalers and distribution partners. I will be looking to develop our brand further with a focus on direct sales, allowing contractors to become more familiar with the range of products that Fujitsu has to offer.’’

Rob Broughton arrives at Elstree as applied specialist. He brings extensive industry experience, having worked for a number of contractors and distributors, including Space Air and Ultimate Air, in commissioning, technical and project roles.

He said: “Having previously enjoyed working alongside the Fujitsu team at a distributor, I jumped at the chance to join the company. I’m enjoying the challenge of learning more about the applied product range and working on the ‘other side’ for a manufacturer.’’

Jay Soni joins Fujitsu as a pre-sales specification engineer and is relishing the challenge of creating designs for customers. He was previously a technical sales engineer at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHIAE).

Deane Flint, chief operating officer at Fujitsu, said: “We have added invaluable experience and skills to the team with these latest appointments and we look forward to seeing all three make a significant and positive impact at an exciting time for the business.’’
