Childerhouse will lead the distributor’s sales and service teams and joins the company from seven years as CEO of trade only service company, BITS. His previous industry experience also includes working with Fujitsu at the introduction of plasma technology and later implementing the UK’s first plasma onsite warranty scheme.

He said: "The move to PSCo is a chance to work with like minded people in a company that wants to add value, through technical expertise and new innovative technologies. I will be looking to reinforce the company’s ties with manufacturers and build on the service levels that PSCo has developed to compliment its portfolio of advanced products."

Stuart Holmes, managing director of PSCo, added: "Paul’s appointment is a great introduction for PSCo and our clients. His background with a trade only service company means he will be a valuable resource for our integrators. Paul’s service experience will allow us to develop our resources to be involved with more complex work, improving our ability to partner with our clients on projects."
