Festool UK CEO email address

[Rupert199]

Would anyone happen to know the email address of Ole Held the CEO of Festool UK.

 

[AlexThePalex]

You know asking for someone's personal information like this is not exactly the right thing to do, right?

FYI, For Clarification

I was just guessing what the emails were.

There is no way to contact a CEO by email unless the CEO wishes to be contacted and list his email.

So I went a deleted my previous comment.

Is this related to your Kapex that is leaking oil?  I'm a little confused by your posts as you said its 15 months old, but you haven't had it that long.  Did you get it used?

If someone does happen to know a personal email as opposed to a publically available company email ......................

                          Don't post it.

As someone who has contacted the CEO of a large corporation (CEO of Costco) successfully over a customer service issue with a resolution in my favor, here's my advice:

Don't send an email or call or fax.
Find out the mailing address of the corporate HQ and WRITE A PHYSICAL LETTER addressed to the CEO by name at the HQ.

In your content, be respectful and list the issues in a factual manner and then point out how you are harmed by this and request resolution of your problem. Make sure to sign it by hand and mail it off. If you really want to make sure they receive it, send it registered etc.

Though this may seem old fashioned, it gets attention. Yes, an office assistant will be the actual person who reads it but the odds are very high it will get shown to the CEO. In my case, the Costco CEO actually had his assistant type up a response, sign it himself, and overnight it back. Also, there's a better chance you might see meaningful changes. I did and I got a check for $100 and an apology.

Just my thoughts.

Good point if one want to stand out these days.. [wink]

On the other hand, do we know the OP intensions with having this email address?
There might be different scenarios: Job application, advise or feedback of a noticeable matter to name a few.

I would probably make a call to Festool UK and ask for advise for the appropriate method of contacting the CEO regarding the matter which can be mentioned briefly.

Why is everyone thinking the worst?

Rupert might want to thank Ole Held for some excellent service he has received?

Exactly.

I once wanted to thank a car dealership for coming to my rescue in an emergency a few months ago, but couldn't find the General Manager's email address on its website (all others including the Principal's (owner) were listed). So I sent it to the Director of Operations (listed as the boss of the GM, just below the Principal in the hierarchy). The Director sent me a reply with a copy to everyone in the dealership's leadership circle including the GM.

It is simple: it is personal information. If the CEO wanted to be contacted you would have found his email or a contact form on the official Festool website. If the CEO does not provide that by himself, it is none of your business.

Next to that, there is always spam. I guard my personal email vehemently. In the past, I emailed with people, they put their contact list in the wrong place, and I got 40 spam emails per day. No thanks.

> Be honest guys, if someone is fishing for personal information on the internet, how often do you think it is for a reason that benefits the subject?

By the way, if I wanted to contact Ole for some reason, instead of asking here I would have send Ole a message already. If you know how google works, it is really not that difficult to find his LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn has a messenger service. I don't mind sharing this because it is public information with certain protections built in.

"Would anyone happen to know the email address of Ole Held the CEO of Festool UK."

Where did you people see the word "personal" in the OP's post? Did I miss it?

A simple Google search does reveal the birth year of Mr. Held (correct info. or not, I don't know).

Yes you did miss that. If you think an email adress is public information, well, then I can introduce you to a Nigerian prince who wants to park 4 million dollar in your bank account.

I disagree. Corporate email addresses with officers' names are listed on many many company websites including the car dealership story I mentioned. If they're personal, they won't be listed in the public domain in the first place. Once they're in the public domain, they are public info. Clearly, the OP didn't ask for anyone's personal email address.

If you wish to get an email to the CEO of Festool UK I would suggest sending a polite email to Festool UK Customer Service and ask that it get forwarded.

Festool corporate individual business emails are hard to get.  I have tried with limited success for a decade.

FWIW

those were just guesses folks.

The OP didn't say personal, and you didn't miss it. I said it, to get ahead of it just in case someone thought that posting a personal email would be OK.

A work email is a personal email,  it's a personal work email

if it was ceo.uk[member=6061]festool[/member],  where it goes to who ever has that title at the time, or their department then ok.  But if it is  guy.gentleman[member=6061]festool[/member].com  then it is their personal work email, which like most companies don't treat as something to spread everywhere.

Companies have websites set up very specifically so random people don't go emailing people directly, they want it to go thru the general channels and be filtered.

If you really want to send a letter to the CEO,  type one up, and put it in the physical mail addressed to him/her at their office address.  This sort of thing generally will get to the person, or at least their admin.

I've seen "work email," "personal email," "business email," and "corporate email" used. I Googled "personal work email," it didn't shed much light.

Other searches suggest that one shouldn't use a work email account for personal business or the like.

Alright, show me where it is listed.

Found this example randomly on the web. I've removed his portrait and others on the mgmt team.
