Connaught appoints Regional Director in the South East

Connaught Partnerships Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris McLain as Regional Director for the South East.

Chris has extensive experience in the facilities management industry, most recently as co-CEO of GSH Group plc – a £250m turnover, 2,500 employee facilities and energy management business. During his tenure with GSH, Chris was a key driving force behind the Group’s order book growth across the UK & Eire and he also has extensive international experience having managed their business units in the USA, Middle East and China.

Commenting on Chris’s appointment Peter Jones, Managing Director of Connaught Partnerships, said:
“We are delighted to have secured Chris’s appointment. He has huge experience in the FM industry and his role will be key as Connaught drives forward its ambitious growth plans in the South East and also nationally in respect of the many public sector outsourcing opportunities which we are now developing”.

“In the last year we have undertaken a significant reorganisation of the business, putting in place a new divisional structure organised into four geographic regions, together with creating a strong team who are focusing upon national public sector outsourcing opportunities. Chris is the final Regional Director to be appointed, completing Connaught Partnerships’ new-look senior management team.

“This new structure has been designed to further improve the efficiency and consistency with which we deliver our clients key objectives - namely minimising costs, maximising performance and meeting the challenges posed by their corporate and social responsibility agenda.”

Based in Connaught’s central London office, effective immediately Chris will assume responsibility for all Connaught Partnerships activity in the South East region.
