Baxi has appointed Harriet Evans to renewables director.
According to Baxi’s representatives, Harriet is set to be responsible for accelerating the company’s growth in heat pumps in the UK and Ireland.
Harriet arrives at the company with 30 years of sales experience in the heating and cooling industry, most recently as sales director for the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries/Beijer Ref collaboration.
Karen Boswell, managing director at Baxi, said: “Harriet brings a deep level of heat pump experience and has a strong knowledge of engineering and building services. This is an important appointment that will support our customers as we work to a sustainable future and achieve our sales ambitions in heat pumps.”
Harriet added: “I will be ensuring we have a convincing set of solutions for all of our customers within both the residential and commercial sectors.
“Baxi may currently be better known for its boilers, but it has an impressive and expanding heat pump portfolio for both the domestic and non-domestic sectors. Equally importantly, there is vast technical expertise in low carbon technology to draw on within the company and the wider BDR Thermea Group.
“One of my first priorities is to take our customers, including specifiers and installers, on the education journey. I’ll also be working with our sales team to communicate how to package up our total solutions, including heat pumps, cylinders, hybrid designs and smart controls.”
