After 56 years in the industry, John Ellard from TEV Limited has decided to retire.

He started his career in the industry when he joined F H Biddle as an apprentice in the late 1950s. During his career, John progressed from sales engineer to director for companies including Bahco, Flakt, Dalair, Senior Moducel and Vent-Axia.

His final role as an employee was with TEV’s Quartz fan coil division. He then went on to set up his own agency in 2008.

He is now looking forward to spending more time with his wife and grandchildren and would like to thank everyone he worked with who made his 50 plus years in the industry so enjoyable.
