Flexenergy appoints new regional manager

Fife-based pipe specialist Flexenergy has recently appointed Andy Watts in a new regional manager role, covering all areas of the UK south of the M62 corridor.

Andy has a wealth of experience in the construction and energy sectors and is very familiar with Flexenergy’s services and products having worked for them previously for a period of eight years up to 2010.

During that time he successfully gained specifications and projects with large housebuilders that saw Flexenergy’s superior fusion-welded jointing technique push them into diameters and projects that, at that time, few believed would be achievable in plastics.

Five years away working for a heat generation company, selling and providing solutions to clients for products ranging from commercial boilers to CHP engines, have increased Andy’s knowledge of the industry and where it is going.

With district heating now becoming more prevalent in the UK, Andy believed it was the right time to come back to a product range he knows very well and in a new role that will help the development of the team he is now responsible for.

Andy’s main objectives with Flexenergy will be to drive the business forward by supporting the customers both directly and through design via consultant engineers. He is also responsible for identifying different approaches to market, with installation of heating mains being a primary focus.

Operating from his home in Plymouth, Andy said: “After five years away it feels totally natural to come back, especially with the rise in district heating in the UK. There are new challenges to meet and newer myths to expel such as heat loss and how comparisons are incorrectly calculated from headline printed figures! I’m looking forward to explaining these issues and welcome the opportunity provided by Flexenergy to drive the business into a new era”.

Sandy Fairley, Flexenergy’s Sales Director, added: “Andy will be playing a key strategic role for Flexenergy as we continue to expand our business throughout the UK. He knows the industry very well and with his knowledge, enthusiasm and determination, I’m sure he will be very successful in his new role.”
