He joins from Fraenkische UK, producers of multi-layer composite pipe for plumbing, heating and underfloor heating.

Goodison, who has worked primarily within the HVAC sector for the past 25 years, will look to further develop existing installer and merchant relationships, as well as bring on new customers.

Commenting on his new role, Goodison said: “I am delighted to have joined Conex Bänninger, a company renowned for innovation. Part of the appeal for me is its impressive heritage which goes back to 1909, as well as the culture which runs throughout the business.

“The sector has seen major changes in recent years with a shift away from solder and brazing to press-fit. Continuing to educate customers and installers on the benefits of press-fit is a big part of the job.

“Whilst the general market is a little ‘up-and-down’ currently, our extensive range of high-quality products stands us in good stead to make the most of any sales opportunities.”
