With over 40 years of industry experience, Langford began his career as a refrigeration and air conditioning engineer before progressing into senior roles across engineering, sales, and manufacturing. He joined Panasonic six years ago and most recently served as Head of Sales and Marketing for the UK division.

Langford’s appointment comes at a time of strategic growth for Panasonic, following recent investments in European heat pump production and the launch of new renewable technologies. “The strength of the innovative renewable technologies recently launched by Panasonic, along with our strong networks across the UK, positions the company well for growth,” said Langford. “I look forward to working with the team towards a bright future together.”

Jose Alves, Regional Director for the UK, Ireland and DACH region, added: “Having worked closely with Mick over the last six years, I am positive that Mick will take the company to the next level and will provide a thriving and strong team to develop the business within the UK.”

Panasonic’s heating and cooling division continues to focus on sustainable technologies, including its Aquarea heat pump range and nanoe X air purification systems, aimed at residential and commercial markets.
