Certification body and training provider NAPIT says it is pleased to announce that Andrew Parkin has joined the business as Certification and Standards Director.
Andrew joins NAPIT from his role as Technical Development Director at fellow Phenna Group company Elmhurst Energy.
His experience in this technical role within the building certification and energy efficiency sectors will complement the ongoing growth of the NAPIT business, the company adds.
Long-term experience
With over 20 years of industry insight into government initiatives, policies, and regulation changes, Andrew is well placed to bolster NAPIT’s reputation within the committees and working groups that shape our sector.
Andrew leaves Elmhurst Energy with glowing praise from Managing Director Stuart Fairlie, with him commenting that, “Andrew has made an outstanding contribution to Elmhurst.
“He helped shape a unified culture with real energy and innovation. His leadership has strengthened the support we provide to our members.”
Stephen Melton, Commercial & Compliance Director at NAPIT, says of Andrew’s appointment, “We are excited to be adding someone with Andrew’s knowledge [and] reputation to the NAPIT senior leadership team.
“His wide experience of certification, standards, and innovation in the building fabric sector will further strengthen our position and complement our existing teams.
“There are many synergies between the NAPIT and Elmhurst Energy businesses, with which Andrew brings a wealth of insight to allow for future growth and collaboration.”
Andrew joins NAPIT at a busy time with the launch of the BS 7671:2018 amendment 4 to the wiring regulations and the redeveloped Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
The company says he will be a key figure in the transition and adoption of its members into these new standards and will drive the focus both internally with the NAPIT teams and within the wider external working groups and committees.
