5 Inspiring CEOs on the SKS 250 Listing
At the core of every hugely successful business is an effective management team.
Strong, knowledgeable leadership and the ability to understand and navigate the modern world of business are key requirements for any rising executive team.
While our SKS 250 listing highlights the success of companies as a whole, we’d like to acknowledge some of the individuals driving their businesses into the spotlight.
Before we present a worthy winner with the CEO of the Year Award (sponsored by Zeus) at a private dinner and awards ceremony on the 29th of June 2023, we’ve put together a list of 5 CEOs who have propelled their companies onto the SKS 250 Listing.
5. Steve Doyle - AD Construction Group
Both the Chairman and CEO of AD Construction Group, Steve Doyle uses his experience in the world of finance to cement the group as a titan in the South’s construction sector. Since taking over from his father as MD in 2007, Steve has been responsible for the company’s strategic growth and investments and has been a key factor in pushing the business into the strong position it holds today.
4. Stephen Ewer - Bathroom Brands
Stephen joined Bathroom Brands in 2020 with an already established reputation for growing business on an international scale, navigating all markets and making strategic developments. With a track record for success in all channels of business from distribution to digitisation, he’s held many senior leadership positions at many companies and is a true asset to Bathroom Brands.
3. Graham Turton - Blagden Specialty Chemicals
Graham Turton’s leadership is at the heart of countless successful ventures for Blagden Specialty Chemicals. From the acquisition and integration of Marlow Chemicals to the establishment of Blagden Specialty Chemicals as a standalone business in 2000, Graham is a long-standing CEO well deserving of a strong spot on the SKS 250.
Beyond powering a business to thrive within the world of work, all good CEOs as leaders must have a keen consideration for their people. Danny Chaney of blu-3 makes respect for his employees and consideration for their ‘health, safety and wellbeing’ an unconditional top priority. Having grown the business from scratch since he founded it in 2004, Danny has built blu-3 into a global brand worthy of recognition on the SKS 250 listing.
The driving force behind a leading housebuilder, Tim Banks’ leadership shines through the perpetual growth of Octagon. During his time as CEO, Octagon has maintained an impressive quantity of repeat customers, produced developments of the highest quality and won several-hundred awards.
With the help of Zeus, we’re excited to be able to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of our chosen winner of the CEO of the Year Award in just a few months, and we’re looking forward to meeting SKS 250 members at the listing’s private dinner and awards ceremony.
All those featured on the listing are invited to attend this event and to put themselves forward for a chance to win the CEO of the Year award or any of the other four awards up for grabs on the night.
