These appointments are part of the company's plans to expand its national training and customer service operations.
Paul Abbott has been appointed as a Water Systems Lecturer, specialising in controlling Legionella bacteria in water systems. Based at York, he will also lecture at other DTL centres around the country and on customers' own premises. With the HSE ramping up the number of inspections it carries out, there is growing demand for Legionella training to ensure regulatory compliance. Paul began his career based at London's Canary Wharf working for Carillion, ensuring cooling towers and water systems were monitored and tested to prevent Legionella. He has also worked in water systems roles for Mitie Water, Biochemica UK and Hydrochem UK, and as a self-employed consultant.
