Carrier has centralised its UK operations and is introducing several new products this year.

Carrier and its companies in the UK, along with building services companies Otis and Chubb, are part of US manufacturing giant United Technologies Corporation, and have recently been incorporated into the European arm of UTC Building and Industrial Systems (BIS) where the UK, Ireland and the Benelux businesses are now under the direction

of the new regional president Lindsay Harvey.

In addition, Carrier has appointed Richard Jones (pictured) as managing director of the merged Carrier UK operations, with responsibility for Carrier HVAC equipment sales and service, Carrier Controls, Carrier Rental Systems, and Toshiba Air Conditioning.

He has been with parent company United Technologies for more than 20 years, having worked for the Chubb organisation for several years before moving to Carrier in 2004. Prior to his current role he had responsibility for Carrier’s highly successful rental (HVAC and Pumps) European and UK operations.
