Bonasystems Boosts Senior Team

John and Steve

Bonasystems, the market leader in specialist floorcare chemical products and services, has appointed two high profile industry figures to boost its senior leadership team and further its ambitious growth plans.

Scientist Dr Steve Thorpe, widely-accepted as the UK’s leading slip and trip expert and Chairman of the UK Slip Resistance Group has been appointed Head of Risk. Also joining the company as Business Development Director is John Wright, previously Director of Business Development (Facilities Services) at facilities management leaders, OCS.

Both appointments are part of a new drive to consolidate Bonasystems’ market share in sectors such as leisure and retail, whilst expanding into new sectors including education, healthcare and hospitality. Bonasystems’ turnover has quadrupled since 2011, winning significant contracts with companies such as ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Hilton Worldwide.

Dr Thorpe will be working with Bonasystems’ clients to deliver strategies to identify, prevent and solve slipping issues. Steve spent 28 years working for the Health and Safety Laboratory (part of the Health and Safety Executive) including the last 16 years working on slips, trips and falls and latterly stair falls. He has experience of research, laboratory and site-based work across a wide range of industry sectors supporting both HSE Inspectors and Local Authority EHOs. He has been published widely on the topic of slips, trips and falls.

John Wright brings with him more than 20 years’ experience of the facilities management arena, including roles at OCS, Sodexo, Crown Group and Elior. He will take overall responsibility for growing Bonasystems’ client base, moving into new markets and developing existing client relationships. He will also be responsible for its regional sales manager network throughout the UK.

Steven Phillips, Managing Director of Bonasystems Europe Ltd, comments: “Our ambition is to double the size of our business again over the next two years. Bringing experts onto the team is a core part of that strategy. Steve and John add the sort of technical expertise and industry knowledge that clients cannot find elsewhere. This combined with the uniqueness of our product range and contract services, demonstrable benefits and our partnership approach with clients, all give us a strong proposition to take to new markets.”
