Air conditioning specialists Coolair Equipment Limited has announced a restructuring to its board of directors.
Neil Gibbard, previously Regional Director of Coolair's Midland office, has been appointed Managing Director, replacing John Otterson who has been named Chairman.
Neil said: "I am both very proud and delighted to be undertaking my new role as Coolair's Managing Director and taking the company forward through all the challenges thrown at us by Covid and into the future.
"It is the hardworking, knowledgeable and committed team at Coolair that makes the company so great to work for. It is through them we continue to provide the high standard of installations, backed by our partnering equipment manufacturer's long-term warranties and maintained by our dedicated, in-house aftersales team, that our clients have come to expect from us."
Gibbard joined Coolair in 2001, becoming Regional Director in 2004 – assuming responsibility for the Midlands-based arm of the business.
As Managing Director, Neil will manage the day-to-day running of Coolair's Manchester HQ and Midlands office, with the Southern office in Maidstone, Kent, remaining under Regional Director Mark Garstang's control.
Chairman John Otterson said: "Having joined Coolair 36 years ago I've seen and been a key part of many changes in the equipment we sell, the services we provide and the clients we serve. One of the real pleasures has also been seeing so many younger people join us over the years and grow to become key members of the Coolair family.
"Neil has made an outstanding contribution since joining the team in 2001 and fitted in right from the start. His professional, friendly attitude has won the respect of staff, suppliers and clients alike, and myself and the whole management team are delighted to be helping him lead Coolair into a strong and secure future."
