FläktGroup Celebrates Retiring Hero


Throughout Tony Watkins career he has been a hero of Data Centre Cooling, something that allows us to use technology like never before. The training room at the Hereford Head Office was named after Tony on his 50th anniversary. FläktGroup is celebrating his retirement this week, with donations from colleagues in the UK & throughout the world. With that, we are matching the contributions of our employees. Giving Tony a personalised cake, personalised Plaque for retiring and a presentation virtually and from our Hereford office


Words from Tony.


Today is my last day of work after nearly 51 Years with the company in its various historical forms and titles.


It has been a fantastic journey from my first day, at DENCO in Hereford England on 1st September 1970, until today. The start of my journey was with “Denco Miller Limited” where I worked alongside the joint company founder Allan Miller on some of the very first “Computer room units”, and Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryers. This was also the year the original founder DENares COlam retired, so as you see I am part of the history, which does make me feel old but also very proud. From a local perspective over this time I have worked with, I think, about 12 Managing Directors and somehow survived all changes and restructures.


It has been said that this length of service within one company is not that common. My recipe for the longevity is my deep passion for the involvement in product designs, taking many forms with continuing evolving technologies, every single day presented me with a new challenge.


In my opinion, each and every product I have had the pleasure of being some part involved in, have been world beating if not in some cases pioneering. This I believe is still the case to this day within FläktGroup, again it has been a pleasure to work alongside the brilliant professional engineers within FläktGroup. I would like to thank all colleagues who have been involved in the many projects over the years and last but not least, thanks to the Executive board for Guidance and support especially in the participation of the accolades that have been bestowed on me in recent events.
