TÜV SÜD Product Service has appointed Chris Guy as its new UK Divisional Director. He will take over responsibility from Jean-Louis Evans, who is retiring at the end of October 2017.

Chris Guy joins TÜV SÜD from the Consumer Technology division of UL, a US-based testing and certification company, where he was Regional General Manager with full P&L responsibility for the division across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
