New MD heats up Warwick company
Warwick-based Baxi Heating has appointed Karen Boswell OBE as managing director of Baxi Heating UK and Ireland.
Shen joins from Hitachi Rail and managed the firm’s UK rapid growth from annual revenue of £248m to £1.4bn, and circa 3,000 people.
Boswell said: “In a world where everyone has something to gain by living and working for a sustainable future, I am thrilled to be joining at this most crucial time.
“Baxi Heating has some of the best known and respected brands in the market, and people who are passionate and successful in delivering for customers. It is well placed to build on its core solutions with new sustainable technologies.
“I look forward to leading the business through the exciting next phase of its story.”
Boswell will replace David Pinder, who is retiring from Baxi Heating. Pinder joined in September 2012.
He said: “I have very much enjoyed my time at Baxi Heating and there have been many highlights along the way, such as celebrating our 150th anniversary and developing the new hydrogen boiler.
“I am extremely proud of the way our people have built up the business with the right principles and the right values. Baxi Heating is in great shape, and I know I am leaving it in capable hands.”
