True to his German genes, Karel is a born engineer with a voracious curiosity to understand how everything works. This has led to a passion for outside-the-square problem solving and product innovation in heating systems.He’s developed specialist knowledge of steam, oil, and wood boilers, gas condensing hot water heaters, hot water heat pumps and chillers.Not content with the status quo, and pained by seeing anything ‘second rate’, he ‘digs deeper’ to find the best possible solutions for clients, with a strong sense of integrity in system quality.He has a global view of the industry – having worked around the world and dealt with a variety of cultures. And being involved in the whole process from sales consulting to commissioning, he understands the need for good communication and collaboration end-to-end.Outside work he enjoys social tennis and the skilled disciplines of Multiple Martial Arts, and still can’t get enough of ‘technical’ things.
