Mike

Mikes working life began in Cambridge as a punt chauffeur on the river Cam, as the season ended his next decision was one that set him on his current journey.

He began his career in the HVAC industry by luck when a recruiter placed him into a trainee project management role with an air conditioning contractor. The experience in Project management, service, sales, and design allowed him to progress to branch management with a national contractor.

Mike soon recognised his passion for specialist sectors of the industry and has spent much of his career working with Cleanroom, Vertical farming, and high care HVAC solutions. The most rewarding part of his job is being part of and watching the development of his own team where his ethos of trust, honesty and teamwork play a crucial role. The highlight of his career was winning the award for the “Best Cleanroom Facility” which was judged from a case study and technical submission for a bespoke pharmaceutical project.

Mike is drawn to life on the water and loves to spend time paddle boarding, kitesurfing, and cycling.
