Bio
Paul Webb, Energy Expert
Yan over the years has become a great friend as well as brilliant technical adviser regarding his industry. We first met when we were engaged with the Carbon Trust and we were head to head commercially trying to find common ground. Since then we meet up and chew the industry fat on a regular basis sharing our knowledge.

I have had the pleasure to work with Yan over the last few years, where I have provided his teams with commercial support and project work. In this time I have been so impressed with Yan's tireless enthusiasm, energy and depth of business knowledge. Yan has a brilliant eye for detail and woe betide the man or woman who tries to pull the wool over his eyes! Yet he also demonstrates a hands on approach with all matters throughout the business, be that encouraging and thanking installation crews on a frosty morning on a construction site, or working at the highest level with blue chip corporate clients, Yan is a people person through and through and a born negotiator. They say a company is only as good as it's staff, and the growth of staff good will within FlaktGroup was instantly measurable when Yan stepped in to head up the team; available 24/7 nothing is ever too much trouble in the help and support of his employees, be that work or in their personal life. I am very pleased to recommend Yan; even though I have spent some 40 years in business and industry, this man has taught me much.
