Excellent first week with a clear structured plan laid out by my manager.
All staff have been friendly and welcoming. Nothing has been too much trouble.

What is your experience in the industry?

I started with an apprenticeship with British Gas and then worked self-employed. Then I moved over to teaching and developed my career working for FE colleges and manufacturers through a range of teaching/assessing roles.

What was your first week at Daikin like?

Excellent first week with a clear structured plan laid out by my manager (Dan Jackson). Visited two centres, met various other staff members, and sat in on a mix of theory and practical training sessions.

What are your first impressions of Daikin?

All staff I have met have been friendly and very welcoming. Nothing has been too much trouble, and everybody has been more than willing to answer any questions that I have had. Training aims are clearly set out with a great plan for moving forward in the journey for heat pumps to become widely fitted across the UK.

What would you say to someone who was considering applying for a job at Daikin?

I would say that I have had an excellent experience and have been guided through the process from my very first application (Ed Longhurst). I have been kept in the loop throughout the process with excellent feedback at each stage in a timely manner. Would highly recommend the company to anyone thinking of applying for a new job role.

How do you spend your weekends?

I love watching sports - mainly football and cricket. Support Chelsea. Spend weekends with my wife and spend time seeing family (daughters, granddaughters). Try to get as many music concerts/festivals as possible throughout the summer.
