ave Hayles has been promoted to the position of head of service at HTG
Service, which was previously known as Taylor Service. Mr Hayles began his career 30 years ago as a refrigeration apprentice after leaving Basford Hall College with a distinction in his Refrigeration City & Guilds course. Joining HTG in 1998, he progressed from field service engineer to national service manager before taking on his latest role with the company. His previous roles have given him an excellent understanding of customers’ expectations and requirements, along with a great knowledge of the industry as a whole. As HTG covers products from both Taylor UK and sister company Hubbard Systems, including prime cooking appliances, ice cream and frozen drink equipment, ice makers, commercial coffee machines, refrigerated displays and more, Mr Hayles’ experience is extremely deep.
He will be responsible for
overseeing all the operations of the Service Division, ensuring that the expectations of HTG’s customers are both managed and met. He leads a nationwide team of field based service technicians who manage both preventative maintenance and reactive repairs, working with all customers from small independents up to global accounts. “HTG has developed and
improved significantly over the past few years,” Mr Hayles said. “Our challenge now is to build on these achievements and expand on the
first class customer care our service division offers. We’ll be continuing to expand our service offering, with the aid of our engineers, call centre and technical team.” “Dave’s experience and
knowledge is second to none,” said Pete Gray, managing director of HTG Trading “He’s a team player and a natural leader, and with him overseeing it our already first class service team will reach new heights.” Taylor UK is part of the Hubbard
Taylor Group (HTG Trading Ltd) and is the exclusive distributor of the Taylor, Frigomat and Pratica ranges in the UK and a preferred supplier of ISA, TurboChef and Perfect Fry equipment. Taylor UK distributes via dealers nationwide and has over 45 years experience in sales, product development, distribution, service and aftercare specific to the UK marketplace.

eter Grierson has joined Birmingham-based mechanical and electrical

for Wolseley Pipe and Climate, he will take control of the day-to-day running of JS Wright and its sister company Wright Maintenance following Phil Leech’s move to chairman.
Based at the Aston headquarters of the employee ownership trust- controlled company, which also has a London office, Peter has more than 30 years of experience in the sale of building products to the construction industry. Mr Grierson began his career as

As managing director of JS
Wright, Mr Grierson will work closely with a highly experienced team including contracts director Matt Coy and design and estimating director David Cook, and with the full support of the JS Wright Board. Mr Grierson said: “I look forward to working with my new colleagues in continuing the company’s success built up over 132 years. Having enjoyed a long association as a supplier, I have always regarded J S Wright as a business that conducts itself with integrity, is heavily focused on its people, and ensures that exceptionally high-quality standards remain paramount.” He added: “My outlook from early in my career has been to deliver to the customer exactly what has been promised and build lasting relationships on the strength of the trust which that brings. It involves having people around you with a shared vision, mission and purpose and ensuring that in all discussions and negotiations everyone feels they have been heard and achieved some gain.”
