The Warrington-based facilities management company, The Westgrove Group, has a new Business Development Director to head their work in the south of the UK. Adrian Canale, who has worked in facilities management across a range of sectors, has been recruited; also he is to bring the company into new sectors including education and healthcare.
Adrian, who is based near Milton Keynes, previously worked for security contractor VSG (now part of the FM firm Mitie) and Carlisle Support Services. Westgrove points to its key USP, Synergy by Westgrove, a value-add based service provision. The firm says this approach has seen a number of significant contract wins in 2019 as the company approaches over £4m new business in the first half of the year. The FM firm is opening a southern office at the end of 2019.
Westgrove specialises in providing security, cleaning and customer services in high footfall destinations such as shopping centres, corporate, mixed use and retail sites across the UK.
Laurie Barton Wright, Brand & Development Director of The Westgrove Group, which employs about 1,000 people across the UK, said: “Due to the rapid growth of the business in the south last year, we felt it was the right time to build on our presence as a UK wide operation. Adrian will be a pivotal part of this strategy and add real value to the business.”
Adrian, pictured, said: “I’m looking forward to building on this success and becoming part of such a forward thinking and successful company whose values and beliefs align with mine.”
