Empowering our people
Apleona is a truly global organisation, with 43,000+ colleagues in over 30 countries. In the UK alone, we employ 1500+ of these talented people in diverse facilities management roles.
By empowering and fulfilling our people, we create experiences that matter. We look for customer excellence ambassadors who are passionate about delivering a sophisticated, bespoke offering that benefits each client.
Above all, we operate and thrive on mutual trust - between peers, facilities managers, suppliers, subcontractors and our clients.
Our senior leadership team
Adrian joined Apleona in 2023, bringing over 25 years of leadership experience in facilities management and support services, and was promoted to Managing Director in 2024, where he is focused on driving business growth. Outside of work, Adrian enjoys cycling and maintaining his Duolingo streak.
Bryan is an accomplished director of facilities services with extensive experience in the mechanical and industrial engineering sectors, having founded Combined Technical Solutions (CTS) in 1999.
With a background of 23 years in the British military as a former warrant officer in the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers, he views networking as an essential tool on his journey and is known for never sitting still, exemplified by his use of a standing desk.
Kurt is the Managing Director of Apleona JCW. He is in charge of growing our client base and directing strategy towards consistent growth, Kurt leads by example and is a great believer in good work ethic coupled with a sense of fun.
Kurt enjoys the odd Italian, home or away and when he has the chance he plans to spend a week or two on the Island of Santorini with the person who supports him every step of the way – his wife.
Lisa has been at Apleona for 11 years, and in this time has gone from HR Advisor, to recently being promoted to Head of People & Development. Over this time Lisa has played a key part in both HR and Payroll day- to-day activities.
When Lisa isn't running round after her three children, she enjoys a glass of fizz and a game of golf.
Marc joined Apleona in 2018, initially as a Financial Controller for our Irish division. He became the UK Commercial Director in 2022 and continues to help, develop and support others around him, both in and and outside the business.
After family, Marc's biggest love is the Celtic football team and you will find him more often than not wearing green in support of this.
Katerina, who joined Apleona in January 2022, brings extensive expertise in ESG, carbon reporting, ISO standards, and social value, playing a crucial role in promoting sustainability within the company and contributing to multiple company awards in recent years.
Originally from the Czech Republic, she has resided in the UK for over two decades and enjoys relaxing with walks alongside her Cavapoo.
Mark joined Apleona in 2024 as the newest member of the senior team, bringing a diverse background in construction and support services, along with a strong executive leadership track record across the UK and EMEA.
A qualified chartered accountant with an MBA from Manchester, Mark enjoys CrossFit in his free time, especially once the class has finished.
