“I am pleased to join the MES Group and help them successfully transition into one of the UK’s largest providers of water & air services. Across the different businesses there is so much innovation and experience, and bringing this together, unifying teams and processes is something I have helped many other organisations achieve throughout my career.
I am results driven and used to working in high pressure environments, with significant leadership and commercial experience both in the UK and overseas. I have a proven track record in Mergers & Acquisitions, driving transformation and achieving efficiencies through integration. I have also established businesses and supply chains all over the world.
People are intrinsic to successful mergers, and I will be focussing my attentions on ensuring MES has a strong leadership team fit for growth.”
