Daikin’s latest podcast welcomes CIBSE 2025/2026 President Vince Arnold to discuss his presidential theme, ‘paying it forward’, and the vital contribution of its 2500+ volunteers worldwide.
The discussion highlights the role of mentoring and skills development in supporting the next generation of engineers across the HVAC sector.
Hosted by Matteo Dall'Ombra, Commercial Marketing Manager at Daikin UK, the episode explores Vince’s career journey – from his electrician apprenticeship and practical skills gained on site, through to his CIBSE Presidential appointment.
Throughout his career, Vince has championed apprentices, volunteering and mentoring the future workforce.
