Fujitsu General Air Conditioning UK Commercial Director Martyn Ives is celebrating 30 years with the business.
Ives joined the company in 1995 from a small refrigeration contractor based in Witham, Essex. He has since developed a deep understanding of the product range during spells as Technical Service Engineer, VRF Technical Service Engineer, Technical Service Manager and Distribution Sales/Technical Service Director.
After receiving an award to mark the anniversary, he said: “There have been many changes over three decades and I have seen the product portfolio grow, from being an RAC market leader, to introducing VRF, and now applied products.
“My proudest moments are probably the opening of the Elstree office and hopefully playing a big part in it being recognised as the European training centre for VRF.
“I’ll always be grateful to my first boss, Cris Nadauld, who gave me the opportunity to join Fujitsu and helped me develop as an engineer. Martin Richards made me responsible for supporting the VRF product, which was an important step, and Ian Carroll helped me to develop further, leading me to where I am now.’’
Ian Carroll, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, said: “Martyn has been such a big part of Fujitsu’s success over the past 30 years. The whole team is delighted to celebrate this milestone with him.’’
