“As Chief Executive of NAPIT my aim is to drive the business forward, make NAPIT more efficient, and champion the interests of our members. We’ve shaped our business through technical excellence, first-rate customer service and a continuous focus on improving recognition of NAPIT members within the industry; I will strive to ensure this continues.”
“Through my presence on multiple industry and Government panels I will maintain NAPIT’s commitment to promoting high standards and safe work, ensuring the operation of our schemes reflects this commitment.”
“My role is to increase the organisation’s effectiveness and efficiency in meeting its commercial objectives, and to contribute to the business’ growth through the development and implementation of strategic initiatives.”
“I will make sure the NAPIT Trade Association continues to be an active, vocal part of NAPIT membership, permitting me to represent the interests of competent installers when sitting on important industry committees and assisting in the development of core technical documents.”
NAPIT maintain a friendly, commonsense approach to competence with a continued focus on raising standards and safety within the building services sector. Though we have grown significantly since the organisation was founded, Trade Association values remain at the heart of each NAPIT division and shape the way we work with tradespeople today.
