ICS Cool Energy, one of the UK’s temperature control specialists providing cooling and heating solutions to a wide variety of process and HVAC applications, announced the appointment of a Group HR Director.

Neil Gibbs joins from Radiodetection (part of SPX Corporation), a global multi-technology company that specialises in the development of new and innovative products essential to utility workers and contractors, where he was Global Human Resources Director. Here, Neil gained extensive experience in developing a strategic HR structure, and embedded the ongoing implementation of key initiatives which align individual performance to company requirements.

Commenting on his new role, Neil Gibbs said, “It is a great privilege to join ICS Cool Energy, because of its excellent reputation. I am impressed with its ambitious growth plans and have a clear picture of how to support these plans. My new role will involve building and revitalising staff infrastructure, helping to strengthen all areas of the business.  I plan on re-evaluating the work culture to gauge if we are creating the optimum environment for people to grow and achieve. A strong, positive culture enables better recruitment, staff retention and customer service, so the better we make it, the more solid our growth will be.”

As an international company, ICS Cool Energy has a wealth of expertise and is continually developing new and innovative temperature control solutions which deliver a range of benefits from energy efficiency, increased performance and consistency to their wide customer base.

Chairman Phil Wilson said, “Neil’s appointment as our first HR Director follows that of group marketing director Paul Griffin, another newly created role. Both are of critical importance to our growth plans.”
