For this edition of our tenant spotlight, we’re introducing Jim Waites from GEA.
GEA is one of the world’s largest suppliers to the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It helps manufacturers improve efficiency and adopt more sustainable ways of working.
Jim and his team specialise in advanced heating and cooling technologies. They help businesses reduce environmental impact and improve facility performance. We caught up with Jim to learn more about his role and what GEA does.
What does your business do?
In the simplest terms, GEA is one of the largest suppliers of systems and components to the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The international technology group, founded in 1881, focuses on machinery and plants, as well as advanced process technology, components and comprehensive services. Specifically, in our division, we provide advanced heating and cooling technologies for these industries.
What problems are you solving for your clients?
How to decarbonise their manufacturing facilities and make use of the waste heat produced during their production processes.
What do you like about being based here?
The easy access to the A38 and, therefore, the South West and the rest of the UK, is fantastic. The services are excellent and the support staff exceptional.
How has the business evolved over the past year?
For me, having only been with the business for about 6 months and starting this regional office from scratch, the evolution has been huge and we continue to go from strength to strength.
If you could have any superpower at work, what would it be?
The ability to pause time so I could achieve everything i need to in the working day.
From helping manufacturers decarbonise their operations to launching a brand-new regional office, Jim and the team at GEA are making a significant impact in their industry. We’re delighted to have them as part of our business community and look forward to seeing their continued growth and success.
