New Technical Director for Apollo Fire Detectors
Apollo Fire Detectors Limited, the world-leading manufacturer of
fire detectors for industrial and commercial applications, has
appointed Stephan Sommer as its new Technical Director. Stephan
joins the company from Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte (BSH), where he was
R&D Director for processing technologies.
Stephan intends to bring his previous experience of
international markets - notably in Germany, the US and China - as
well as extensive technical expertise to the role of Technical
Director. His stated aim is to make Apollo more efficient and
responsive than ever.
Commenting on his new role, Stephan said:
"Although Apollo is a global market leader in fire detection, it
needs to continue to respond swiftly to market influences. I want
to build on the company's current success by developing much more
interaction between the Technical team and other parts of Apollo's
business, including Marketing and Quality. Greater integration and
more opportunities to develop and exchange ideas will help to drive
product innovation in the future and keep Apollo ahead of the
competition."
Stephan has relocated from Germany to the UK with his wife and
daughter and now lives on the Isle of Wight.
