Leading uninterruptible power supply (UPS) manufacturer, Centiel, has appointed John Kreyling as its UK Managing Director.

John, who joined Centiel in January 2024 with more than two decades’ experience in the power distribution industry, will take over from David Bond, who will now resume duties as Chairman.

John comments, “Centiel is a brilliant brand at the very forefront of technology innovation, and I am incredibly proud to lead Centiel’s expansion in the UK. My management style is hands-on, so I will enjoy continuing to work closely with Centiel’s valued customers and developing relationships with new clients as the company grows.

“Centiel has some fantastic talent in its team. The culture within the business is also particularly positive, and this is both refreshing and energising when combined with the company’s vision and ambition. Add in Centiel’s multi-award winning solutions, plus its support structure, and the company has a strong platform for growth and success as it continues to invest in people and products. I am thrilled to be appointed to this position and to lead this great business into the future.”

David Bond, Chairman of Centiel, adds, “John’s extensive industry experience, including eight years as a previous board director, makes him perfectly placed to lead Centiel’s continued growth. The company is excited about this new chapter and I know the whole team will support his development goals as Centiel helps its customers further improve the power availability and efficiency of their facilities, while reducing the total cost of ownership at the same time.”
