Founder and Managing Director
With a passion for low-pressure tank safety equipment, I began the AVAL journey in 1988 with a mission to create a company that truly makes a difference.
My career started in 1978 as an apprentice, where I gained hands-on experience in machining, assembling, and testing low-pressure/vacuum valves. I later transitioned into a sales engineer role for a leading manufacturer, including a year-long move to France to develop connections within the French market. This journey has given me a deep understanding of the industry and what it takes to help clients succeed, and that insight continues to drive everything I do.
Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with incredible people and businesses. I’m dedicated to providing tailored solutions that empower clients to reach their full potential. My approach is simple: listen carefully, understand deeply, and deliver with precision.
When I’m not working, you can find me on my mountain bike or watching football, having played at a decent level for 20 years. I believe in maintaining balance in life and nurturing relationships – both in business and beyond.
I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and help you achieve your goals!
