I have been with Alpeco since 1998 and as a much younger man remember being one of Flowmax’s first acquisitions. 2020 has given me two more big firsts: My first full year as MD and my first global pandemic, but with a great team behind me at Alpeco we have survived, made a profit and are looking forward to 2021. Being an MD of a small company means I can choose how I allocate my time. I can be involved with all areas of the business. I still like to be involved in building some projects. The quality of Alpeco’s products, both those we build and those we supply, and my hard working team are my motivation to continue to work hard and grow the company.

Working at IFC incorporates the best of both worlds. I am part of a supportive, creative and hardworking team who provide bespoke solutions for our customers, and I also have the additional support from the Flowmax group. We get great advice, guidance and strategic support. There is a strong group culture which values staff in the same way that we do and which allows us to concentrate on looking after our customers and growing our business. After beginning his working life at Hytek Fuelling equipment and having spent the majority of his career in the fuel and liquid handling sectors, Kiran joined IFC Inflow in 2010 and is currently their Sales and Operations director.

I joined CTS in the marketing department straight after graduating from university in 2011. The company and wider group have really supported my career progression, with the Flowmax management course helping me to build on the skills I need to manage the department that I now head up.
