A Shropshire-based specialist in customised air movement, filtration and extraction systems has made a high-profile appointment to help boost its current £6 million turnover by 40% over the next three years.

Multi-Fan Systems (www.multifansystems.co.uk), which is part of Filtermist International Ltd, has appointed Carolyn Lee as systems engineer manager to support a move into offering turn-key solutions for customers in the automotive, aerospace, food-processing, paper and wood-working sectors.

Ms Lee, who joins the business after spending eight years with one of the UK’s largest car manufacturers, said: “This is a very exciting time to be joining Multi-Fan Systems, as an increasing number of companies explore how they can protect and better control their working environment to deliver improved productivity, quality and workplace condition.

"The business has evolved into a provider of turnkey solutions, which means we will work with the client from the initial design of the system right through to specifying the technology, installation, commissioning and then — if required — on-going support.

“Clients now want a specialist to manage the entire process, so they can focus on doing what they do best — their core activity. This approach has seen us quote for a host of multi-million-pound opportunities in the last month alone.”
