Following on from an excellent 2005, Altrincham based Solid Air has continued to experience strong growth in the first half of 2006.

With an excellent order book they have recruited several new personnel in Altrincham and London to support their expanding UK customer base.

At its Altrincham HQ, Andy Bowcott has joined as Sales Office Manager.

Andy has over 20 years experience in sales, engineering and project management of air distribution systems and previously worked for Colman Moducel.

Also currently being recruited in Altrincham is a new internal sales engineer who will work on design proposals, customer projects and provide additional day to day customer support.

In London, Dave Moore and Lee Chittenden join the sales team as regional sales managers.

Both are highly experienced in the design and specification of air conditioning systems; Dave having previously worked for Trox and Lee for Mitsubishi and Waterloo.

They join Solid Air to work with customers in the London and the South East region.

Colin Green, General Manager of Solid Air commented 'we are now planning our third office expansion in 8 years.

Successful projects such as the new hospitality suites at Old Trafford football ground and the ABN Amro bank, show our ability to support high specification, demanding projects.

With our strong product portfolio backed by international RandD we continue to innovate and provide tailored, project specific products as well as having one of the best standard ranges available.

Our expansion and need for new staff are the best indication we can have that our customers are more than happy with our products, competitiveness and service.' Solid Air was formed in 1998 as the UK and Ireland arm of Nijburg Investment Group based in The Netherlands.

They manufacture and supply a full range of air distribution products including grilles, diffusers, swirl diffusers, displacement diffusers, variable and constant volume units and chilled beams.

These are used by consulting design engineers and contractors in the design of high quality air conditioning systems to ensure buildings have the optimum internal climate.
