Dean McBride is appointed as the company’s new performance contract engineer. McBride said, “I am pleased to join the HBS team in this relatively new field of performance contracting. I believe I have much to contribute from an energy efficiencies perspective which is where most of my experience lies, particularly in the HVAC sectors. The performance contract concept is relatively new to the South African market, and one where HBS has a great deal of experience as well as having much success in a variety of international markets. Joining the HBS team will afford me exposure to new industrial sectors and the opportunity to advise and assist customers in the implementation of performance contract management.”
