Kentec Electronics, a life safety control systems manufacturer, has appointed Brett Boyd as Business Development Manager to further the company’s customer support capabilities and help drive the Kentec Installation Partner (KIP) scheme.

Brett will be responsible for Kentec customers in London and the South East, reporting to Wayne Marston, Head of Sales UK. He has recently relocated from South Africa, where he worked for a fire and security distributor across every aspect of fire safety, from detection and protection to extinguishing and at every stage of a project’s delivery, from design to aftercare.

Brett says he is looking forward to utilising his skills and knowledge in a new market: “The UK is an exciting market and Kentec’s product road map is particularly impressive. It is and will continue to allow us to use the latest technology to make the lives of our customers more convenient, as well as delivering the highest levels of fire safety,” he says.

Brett will also help to promote the KIP scheme, which provides Kentec registered customers with a wide-ranging programme of bespoke training and best-in-class technical support, as well as dedicated software and enhanced product functionality.

Wayne Martson, Kentec’s Head of Sales, says Brett brings with him a wealth of experience: “As well as a diverse knowledge of the sector, Brett’s skills are in helping customers optimise fire safety systems, putting them and their needs firmly at the centre of all projects. The KIP scheme is a fantastic tool to further this goal.”
