Leading ventilation manufacturer Elta Group has strengthened two of its brands following a duo of senior appointments.

Damian Buxton, formerly Managing Director at Elta Fans, has been appointed as Chief Executive across the Fareham, Kingswinford and Colchester sites. Having been with Elta Fans for 20 years, Damian brings with him expert knowledge of the ventilation sector.

Damian's appointment follows the move to bring together the activity and management of operations across Elta Fans' three principal UK sites, and will allow him to work more closely with the management teams to further strengthen the Elta Fans and Elta Group Building Services' position within the market.

Previously Head of Residential Sales, John Bradley will now take on the role of Head of Sales at Elta Group Building Services. With over 30 years' experience within the ventilation industry, John has become a well-known figure within the residential sector, and brings with him knowledge of commercial and industrial applications.

As part of his new role, John will look to continue the recent rapid growth of the EGBS division by strengthening its three subsidiary brands – Elta Fans, Air Design and idealair group.

David Ball, Chairman at Elta Group, said: "Following a successful year, the two senior appointments at Elta Fans and EGBS will allow us to remain at the forefront of the ventilation sector. Boasting years of experience, both Damian and John will help grow the individual brands and strengthen our position as a market leader in their new roles."
