With more than 25 years of commercial, technical, and management experience in the critical power industry, Ian takes on overall day-to-day responsibilities for leading the company, which is now based in a state-of-the-art facility in H2 Baldonnell Business Park, Dublin 22 after recently relocating from its original premises in Ballycoolin, Dublin 11.
Ian has a proven track record in the power protection industry, including nearly 20 years managing Pure Power Systems, an independent UPS distributor he founded and successfully scaled until its acquisition by a US multinational company in 2017.
He holds a Degree in Electrical Engineering from TU Dublin, a Postgraduate Certificate in Energy Systems and Decarbonisation from Dublin City University, and an MBA from Dublin City University Business School.
His appointment signals a renewed push to increase brand awareness of Riello UPS in the Data Centre, Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, Medtech, Aviation, Fintech, and Telecoms markets. Ian also looks forward to providing existing installations within these markets with first class technical support and service.
Riello UPS Ireland launched in November 2022, becoming the seventeenth subsidiary of the Italian headquartered RPS SpA, the second-largest manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in Europe.
“I was very fortunate to be the first Irish distributor of Riello UPS systems when I formed Pure Power Systems back in 2003 and am now privileged to directly represent this wonderful company in Ireland.
“I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with my many colleagues throughout the industry and leading our fantastic team to offer the very best in critical power products and services.”
- Ian Jackson, Managing Director of Riello UPS Ireland
Ian will work closely with Leo Craig, the long-standing Managing Director of Riello UPS Ltd in the UK, who until this exciting appointment had previously combined overseeing both the UK and Irish subsidiaries.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ian to the team. He brings incredible commercial, technical, and management experience, as well as a huge passion for leadership and customer service.
“Riello UPS is already a well-established brand in Ireland with strong links through several resellers and distributors. But we still have huge untapped potential for growth, and we believe under Ian’s stewardship we are now well-placed to fully capitalise on this expanding market for us.”
- Leo Craig, Managing Director of Riello UPS Ltd
