FM group secures experienced director

Aston Services Group who were formed in 2016 by the merger of the long established Cleanall commercial and industrial cleaning business and Care Facility Management, an established security and facilities management business, are now well positioned to leverage the strengths and benefits that the increased scale in their business has created. 

Employing almost 800 staff, Atkinson’s appointment will be to direct and drive the business through a sustained level of strategic and planned growth and to position the business as a significant player within the facilities management industry. 

Atkinson brings with him a wealth of business growth experience within the B2B sector having worked with major institutional investors who have backed his business interests in addition to working as a Main Board Director of a fully quoted London Stock Exchange company. He has experience of negotiating and supplying many of the country’s leading blue chip companies such as BT, TUI, Compass Group, Jet 2 and Balfour Beatty. 

Chairman Ian Gilston said: "The appointment of Nick marks a major step change for the business in that he brings real strategic and commercial expertise to the group to allow us to build on our already excellent large blue chip customer base."

As part of the company's development and evolution, Aston Services Group has also created a new role of integration director.

James Wheeler will be taking up this new and instrumental role over the coming months, where Aston Group Services will be enhancing the service delivery offering, together with internal integration of its existing customer base.

James has a wealth of operational management and sales experience, which will be used to deliver the companies future objectives.
