Bonasystems appoints ex CEO of OCS

Martin will play a pivotal role in the growth strategy for the company with plans in place to secure larger contracts over the next three to five years. 

Martin’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Bonasystems, which added several prestigious accounts to its client portfolio last year including Mitchells & Butlers plc. In 2017 Bonasystems is aiming to increase its market share considerably in sectors such as hospitality and retail, but also gain a significant foothold in healthcare and education markets. 

Steven Phillips, CEO of Bonasystems, said: “To attract a non-executive director of such skill and experience is a testament to Bonasystems’ reputation and heralds an exciting new phase for the business. A business is only as good as the choices it makes and so it is vital to have the best people possible in crucial positions. 

I am therefore delighted that Martin is bringing his talent, vision, contacts and enormous experience from within the facilities management industry to our board, and this will be invaluable to our business going forward.”

From 2009-2014, Martin was chief executive officer, UK & Europe for OCS Group, one of the UK’s largest facilities management companies. Before this he set up, grew and then sold two companies over a 12-year period. Martin now runs his own consultancy business, MG Associates (UK) Ltd.
