2005-04-21 - ABB has appointed Ian Allan as Industry Manager for Energy, with the aim of stimulating energy efficiency among customers using ABB motors and drives in industrial applications and building services.
Working from the Manchester office, Allan will help customers make the right choices of motors and drives to cut fuel bills and reduce the impact of their operations on the environment. The appointment is part of ABB’s response to growing pressure for industry to produce energy savings. Fuel bills are rising and recent tax changes are also adding to industry’s energy costs as the UK government strives to meet its climate change obligations.
Allan comes to ABB from motor manufacturer Brook Crompton, where he has held a variety of posts over 15 years, including working for seven years in business development and marketing for energy efficient products.
“I’m pleased to be joining ABB,” says Allan. “I’ve always been impressed with the professional approach of ABB, especially the organisation’s commitment to energy efficiency, both in servicing customers and within its own operations.”
In addition to his energy-saving role, Allan will also spend some of his time as Principal Sales Engineer for the North East.
