Specialist HVAC recruiter Thornhvac has expanded its heating division with the appointment of Clare Swain to its Leeds office.

Clare joins from Ruskin Air Mangement where she was area sales manager and has previously worked in distribution sales roles with Polypipe.   

In her new role, Clare will be responsible for developing Thornhvac’s work in the domestic heating sector, working in partnership with leading manufacturers, distributors and contractors of domestic heating, pipes and fittings, valves, pumps and renewables.

Thornhvac director Jason Thornhill said: “Clare’s industry knowledge means she understands the skills required by employers in the domestic heating sector and her sales background gives her the communication and negotiation skills needed for a career in recruitment.

“She will be sourcing good quality candidates for positions in both the UK and overseas, including vacancies for sales engineers, sales manager, R&D engineers and trainers. “We are delighted to have Clare on board to further strengthen our team as we continue to grow.”
