Centiel has announced that it has appointed John Kreyling as UK Managing Director. 

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

Kreyling has 23 years’ experience in the power distribution industry, including 13 years in LV switchgear manufacture and 10 years in UPS sales and service. His previous roles have included Area, Regional and UK Sales Manager, Engineering Director, Project Director and most recently Business Development Director. Kreyling has a HNC in Electronic Engineering and is Level 4 NVQ qualified in project management.

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

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

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