Mike Nankivell to Retire from Space Air

29/10/2015

 
Mike Nankivell - ACr JournalMike Nankivell to retrire
​ACR industry veteran, Mike Nankivell announced his retirement from Daikin distributor, Space Air, this week after 45 years in the sector. 

Mike is set to retire at the end of 2015 but admits that it was not an easy decision to leave. His main reason for retiring is down to the 'increasingly tiresome daily journey' to Guildford from his home in Kent. 

Mike stated:
“I have spent pretty much the last 30 years commuting part way round the M25 from Kent into Surrey and beyond, typically this can add up to 4 hours to my working day and frequently considerably longer! Unfortunately I have also been advised that this is aggravating a long-standing back condition. This could no longer continue and given that I do not intend to seek alternative full-time employment at this stage in my long career, the logical conclusion was retirement.

“Perhaps semi-retirement would be slightly more accurate as I will retain some industry involvement; so will not be disappearing altogether, at least for a while. I have offered to continue as President of the Heat Pump Association and my activities with ACRIB for as long as this is practicable, as well as undertake occasional projects for Space Air. I very much hope to remain active in the industry, on a part time basis, for as long as my services can be helpful, but this will not include joining the daily rush hour traffic!”
Mike started in the HVAC industry as a draughtsman in 1971 after his apprenticeship in a Ministry of Defence research and development centre. He worked on designs for a perimeter heating system, as well as contract and commercial projects. In addtion, he worked on acoustics, and making fan and AHU's. 

He spent 13 years with Carrier Air Conditioning and became their marketing manager, before becoming Marketing and Business Development Director with Space Airconditioning plc in 2009. 

Mike is highly regarded within the HVAC industry and has won numerous awards and accolades.
