Following our launch in 2023, we are happy to announce the appointment of Lee Aris as National Manager.

Lee, who has previously worked for Elta Group as a branch manager at Idealair Group; a distributor of fans, heating, and ventilation equipment in Melbourne, Australia, has an extensive knowledge of the industry that he will bring to the role. Born in the UK, Lee moved to Australia in 2017, and in 2020, he was appointed to help establish Idealair’s Melbourne branch and build a team of ventilation and air distribution experts.

Based in Kingswinford, West Midlands, Lee will be expanding Elta Trade’s reach in the UK and ensuring that electricians, plumbers, and homeowners working on air movement around the country have compliant equipment available for purchase at a local stockist. Along with this, Lee will soon be hosting trade mornings for contractors to attend and provide new point-of-sale (POS) materials and display units for distributors to promote our products.

Speaking on his appointment, Lee said: “It’s brilliant to be back in the UK and working with Elta Trade to ensure that tradespeople handling air management systems in residential properties have the necessary equipment and assistance on hand. Since its launch last year, Elta Trade has expanded its reach considerably and I aim to continue this through my work.

“We know that damp, mould, and indoor air quality is a constant challenge contractors face in their day-to-day jobs, and we’re here to help make sure tradespeople can remain compliant when installing a ventilation system into a residential property. With Elta Trade being part of the Elta business, we have a wide range of products available to ensure that each project meets the necessary criteria. Not only this, but we have a wealth of technical experts and knowledge at Elta, who can help advise and guide tradespeople with their projects.”

Currently, our product can be purchased from a variety of suppliers including damp and mould specialists through to online retailers. From residential applications for kitchen, bathrooms, and utility spaces, alongside fans for industrial and commercial spaces, our wide range of solutions helps keep air moving and mould at bay.

Vikrant Bhatt, Commercial Director of Elta, went on to say: “We’re thrilled that Lee has accepted our offer to join the Elta Trade team following his relocation back to the UK from Melbourne. With his keen understanding of ventilation and business drive, we hope that his appointment will result in further positive work for the latest division of Elta. Stockists and customers will now be able to speak to Lee to learn how they can become a supplier of Elta Trade products and improve air quality.”
