INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
Vaughn Hassett joins team Keystar
O
n 1 March, Vaughn Hassett
started at Keystar as their new
manager: Programmable
Solutions, bringing with him many years of
experience in a variety of relevant areas.
Hassett is a great asset to Keystar,
as he boasts 25 years of experience
in PLC programming/commissioning
and fault finding; 20 years in project
management, HVAC&R systems, remote
connectivity, and data analytics; and
15 years of experience as a manager.
His main objective is to establish a
fully functional programmable solutions
team who will uplift the Keystar brand
and offer a great support platform for
all who use their product. “I believe that
the customer is always important, no
matter how big or how small, and we will
continue to take pride in every solution
that is offered to them,” said Hassett.
Joining the company was a good
move for Hassett, because although
he is still involved in the same field
and environment, it now allows him to
broaden his scope and it gives him the
opportunity to work with programmable
controllers that he has not worked with
before. “The move will be good for me
because I will be at the forefront of
new technologies and I will have the
opportunity to build a team that will
offer these technologies to the HVAC&R
industry,” says Hassett.
But it’s not just about the technology.
“After meeting with the staff and owners
of Keystar, prior to my employment, I
immediately realised that they are a
team who respects their fellow employees
and have an unconditional obligation
to fulfil their customers’ requests,” he
explains. “Over the past month of my
employ, I have come to witness that they
are a fantastic team, and I am confident
that the relationships with all the Keystar
staff and their customers are going to be
a fulfilling and fruitful one, which is exactly
how it should be.”
For now, Hassett’s plans are to
become an expert in the programmable
solutions that Keystar has to offer and
to continue with the same excellent
support levels they have always supplied
to their customers. CLA
