"With so many years in and around the HVAC industry in Ireland I've been fully aware of how well Altecnic is known in the market as a leading manufacturer of quality plumbing and heating products. Once the opportunity came along to join, I jumped at the chance," Chris said.

Originally from Bangor in Northern Ireland, Chris went on to graduate from Queen's University in Belfast and now resides in County Kildare where he has lived for over 15 years.

Chris commented, "I have a track record of working with OEM and distribution customers to solve issues, offer support and create a foundation for long-term partnerships. I look forward to using all of my experience with Altecnic Ltd.

"My background has enabled me to become very technically trained on a wide range of HVAC products, and I am really looking forward to using this to offer support, technical assistance and new business development."

Chris also cites the strong relationship that Altecnic Ltd enjoys with the leading OEM and Trade customers across Ireland, together with the support offered by the company's team at its head office in Stafford.

"My eyes have really been opened to how strong the people are that we have in place at our NDC in Staffordshire. This, together with our owners Caleffi having three dedicated manufacturing plants in Northern Italy, gives us the fantastic foundations to continue to grow our authentic, accredited, assured range of products."

Chris continued, "Caleffi are certainly recognised and respected in the Irish market for the highest quality approved plumbing and heating products. Working together with our manufacturing partners, including IMIT Controls, our reputation for reliability will continue to grow. For over 25 years, our customers have relied on us to provide high quality products and the service backup they need."
