Wallingford-based sustainable cleaning company Ecoserv has announced the appointments of Stephen Jones and Jim Humphrey to the company's executive team.

Stephen will be taking on the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), making him responsible for overseeing the company's operations and providing strategic direction for business activities. Stephen has experience in housekeeping, industrial factory cleaning, and post-construction cleaning in the building sector having managed Ecoserv Group’s southwest region since 2021.

Jim Humphrey joined Ecocleen in 2016 as the Regional Director for the Southwest franchise. He sold his business in 2021 but remained at the rebranded Ecoserv Group business in a client relationship and sales position. In his new role, he will provide operational, HR, and sales support to the southwest region.

The expansion of the company's executive team reflects the company's growth this year. In March Ecoserv received a £4,000,000 asset-based lending facility from Cynergy Business Finance. Since then the company has used these finances to expand its presence in the industry.

Jean-Henri Beukes, CEO of Ecoserv Group commented: “Stephen and Jim bring a wealth of contract cleaning experience, so we are delighted they have joined the executive team. They have both made considerable contributions to the business in the southwest region and their good practice expertise will add significant value to the wider group moving forward.”
