Retirement of Managing Director John Inkster
Retirement of John Inkster after 38 years of exceptional leadership, welcoming Michael Briggs to guide AxFlow Oceania into the future.
It is with mixed emotions that AxFlow and Kelair Pumps announce the retirement of John Inkster, our esteemed Managing Director, effective April 30, 2024.
After an impressive career spanning an incredible 38 years with the company, John leaves behind a legacy of unparalleled dedication, and remarkable achievements. Under his guidance, Kelair Pumps and Brown Brothers Engineers has evolved from a family-owned enterprise to a thriving member of the AxFlow Group with a diverse portfolio of successful companies.
In recent years, John spearheaded a series of strategic acquisitions that further solidified AxFlow's presence in the market. These acquisitions not only expanded our reach but also reinforced our commitment to customer service in Australia and New Zealand. John leaves behind a strong and professional team well set for future growth.
As John steps into a well-deserved retirement, please join me in expressing appreciation and best wishes to John as he embarks on this new chapter in his life.
