Strategic management changes have been implemented at Fischer Panda UK | Power Solutions.
Founder and long-serving Managing Director Barry Fower is passing the baton to his son, Chris Fower, who becomes the new Managing Director.
Barry founded the company in 1994, growing the marine, defence, and specialist vehicle onboard system solutions business steadily through word-of-mouth and establishing a reputation for technical expertise and reliable customer service. Barry takes on a new role as Chief Executive Officer, providing guidance across all three industries while remaining the driving force behind specialist projects and defence applications.
Chris Fower joined the business in 2014 in a Business Development role and was instrumental in structuring the company’s commercial, sales, and management systems, enabling growth and the recruitment of additional team members. His knowledge of the business ultimately led to his promotion to Sales and Marketing Director, reflecting his strong understanding of both the company and its customers’ needs.
“These changes represent an exciting new chapter for Fischer Panda UK | Power Solutions,” said Barry Fower, Chief Executive Officer. “As a family-run business, our focus has always been on reliability and quality. I am confident that Chris will uphold our legacy, ensuring customers continue to receive dependable onboard solutions backed by our in-house engineering expertise.”
