News TWO NEW DIRECTORS FOR HVAC INSTALLATIONS O n 6 November 2018, HVAC Installations welcomed two new directors — Dempsey Henning and Johan Boersema — to its management team to cope with the company’s rapid growth. According to Jan Wibbelink, managing director of HVAC Installations, this move was predominantly due to the fact that the company kept growing to the point that he could no longer handle the operation alone. “It was also done to ensure the continuity of HVAC Installations, opening the field for more projects and diversity,” he said. “Together, we will be able to better manage the 160-odd permanent staff component and work more effectively in general.” RACA MEET DEMPSEY HENNING Dempsey Henning has been working for HVAC Installations for 18 years.
