Welcome to our new non-executive chairman
We are delighted to announce that David Pinder, former CEO of UK heating manufacturer Baxi,
has joined DiscreteHeat as non-executive chairman.
David says:
“DiscreteHeat is not a start-up, but has been around for a number of years, developing and honing its unique system and is well-proven.
The heating industry is rapidly changing, and the innovative ThermaSkirt heating system is suddenly on a steep upward trajectory.”
“With the move toward heat pumps, which work more effectively by heating the system water to 40-45 degrees C rather than 60 degrees with gas boilers,
people are reluctant to have the bigger radiators that are to heat their rooms, as they take up even more space.
However, housebuilders and social housing providers, have discovered the benefits that ThermaSkirt offers;
it’s competitively priced against large steel radiators, unobtrusive and looks good,
yet is much more effective at heating the room efficiently at lower temperatures.
DiscreteHeat has really come of age as we start the energy transition.
The product market fit has finally arrived and everyone's interested, whether they’re developers or homeowners.
They are questioning why they have to have even bigger radiators in their homes when ThermaSkirt offers such a good solution.
It’s no surprise, then, that it’s now taking off. It’s all about timing!”
David has many years of experience, serving on a variety of different boards within the construction industry,
including chair of the Green Construction Board and board member of the National Retrofit Hub
as well as CEO of Baxi UK and Ireland and managing director UK and South Europe of NSG Pilkington.
As non-executive chairman at DiscreteHeat he will provide experience and expertise in running the Board,
ensuring good governance and help with the challenges of growing the company and financing that growth.
