David Fell will join Falmec UK in October 2021 as regional business manager for the North of England to drive sales of the company’s extraction and induction appliances in Yorkshire, Lancashire & Merseyside.

The addition of Fell to Falmec’s UK sales team reflects an increase in sales and enquiries for the brand since the height of the pandemic.

According to the business, its revenues are up by 112% – almost doubling the record achieved following the launch as Falmec’s UK subsidiary, at the beginning of 2020.
