"Prior to moving to Farheat I worked with them on a number of projects. The Fairheat team were always passionate about the projects which resulted in an energetic can do environment which I really enjoyed being a part of. Since starting my role with Fairheat and experiencing the culture first hand the energy, drive and passion across the whole business is at a level I haven’t experienced before and its fantastic.My goal at Fairheat is to maximise the number of operational district heating networks across the UK.
