Name: Brendan Clarkson - Clarkson Air Conditioning Role: Board Director

What is your background?

I started working in the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) as an Engineer serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor. In 2007, I started Air Con Auckland –in 2012, this was rebranded to Clarkson Air Conditioning Ltd.

What is your current business role?

I am the Director of Clarkson Air Conditioning Ltd and also a Producer Statement Author. Clarkson Air Conditioning continues to work with Clarkson Electrical on a number of projects, including gaming trust work, service station contracts and a number of large New Zealand corporate business developments.

What are you passionate about in the HVAC&R industry?

Recently, I wrote to Hon David Seymour, Minister for Regulation, as I am very keen to see a national register of Producer Statement Authors. This compliance is a massive overhead in time and money when there could be a national register controlled by a national body. I was pleased to receive a response, https://issuu.com/irhace/docs/irhace_april2024

What would you recommend?

Set your sights and go for it. I achieved my five-year business plan in just three years and I continue to aim to further develop my company’s involvement and support within the Auckland community.
