Leadership
Jerome leads the UK business and keeps one eye on the future while protecting what already works. His role is as much about culture as it is about performance making sure the company grows in the right way, not just the fast way. Since he joined, the business has expanded significantly, but the focus on respect and integrity hasn’t changed. He believes clients stay when they trust you, and employees stay when they feel valued. Everything else follows from that.
“Caring isn’t just a message it’s in our DNA”

Ryan spends much of his time in operations and being visible on clients sites, working alongside the team and clients to maintain high standards. He supports the Managing Director in running the UK business, helping ensure contracts remain both commercially sensible and deliverable. Having worked his way up through the company, he understands what life looks like on-site and what support teams need. He’s known for being approachable and straight-talking, focused on fixing issues early and building relationships that last.

Stuart looks after the numbers so everyone else can focus on delivering for clients. He manages budgets, forecasts, reporting, and cash flow, ensuring the business remains well controlled and financially sound. He works closely with senior leaders to explain what the figures really mean and where to act. Recently, he led the transition to new finance and payroll systems, providing teams with faster, clearer information. Outside work, he runs marathons, which suits his approach steady, disciplined, and built for the long haul rather than a quick win.
“Good decisions start with good information.”
Stuart Le Tissier

Leading financial strategy, enabling growth, supporting teams, ensuring transparency, value for clients
Bryan started as a Cleaning Operative, so he knows exactly what the job feels like at ground level. That experience still shapes how he leads today. He believes people perform better when they feel respected and understood, not managed from a distance. Now responsible for the South region, he oversees growth, mobilisations, and day-to-day delivery across a broad mix of sites. He spends time with teams, not just reports, because he knows that’s where the real insight sits. Clients notice the difference in consistency and pride.
“Having started on the front line, I know great service comes from people who care about what they do.”

Joanna leads the North with a hands-on style and a strong sense of accountability. She oversees both winning new work and ensuring existing clients receive precisely what they expect every day. From bids and mobilisation through to steady-state operations, she stays involved and visible. During a period of rapid growth, she helped establish structure and stability, building a leadership team capable of handling the pressure. Joanna encourages managers to treat their sites as their own businesses—take responsibility, solve problems quickly, and keep things simple.
