Halifax based, PSB-UK Ltd, which specialises in the design, manufacture, project management and servicing of residential, commercial and car park ventilation systems, has taken on a new UK sales manager, José Figueira.

With more than 25 years experience in the ventilation and smoke control industry, he previously worked on ventilation and heating schemes for London Underground before moving into sales for a number of high profile companies.

"PSB has an enviable reputation within the industry for research, development, innovation and the creation of bespoke, high quality systems," he said.

"PSB work not only in the UK but across Europe, and I'm looking forward to developing and managing the company's growth in the above ground sector."

A member of the Witt Group of companies, PSB-UK Ltd introduced impulse ventilation systems to the UK, installing the country's first system in the car park at Artilleries Mansions in London in 2001.

Established in the UK in 2000, the company has been active in mainland Europe for more than 20 years.

Managing Director Martin Booth said: "José has been involved with some of the UK's largest fan system companies.

"His experience and drive will be a great asset to PSB and we are very pleased he has joined us at this exciting time for the company."
