Alan KEENEY

I am responsible for the supervision of ten MCS operatives within Scotland ensuring health and safety guidelines are followed at all times. I lead my team by example and enthusiasm to deliver the "exceptional every day". I currently lead all working at height and confined space contracts. Drawing on my ability to problem solve and find solutions I have introduced new and improved methods resulting in both cost saving and increased revenue.

Sole responsibility for the operation of the company, securing contracts with leading property factors and government bodies to clean the exterior of several prominent buildings from Inverness to Jersey in the Channel Islands.

I formed this company in 2014 and took it from a standing start to £500,000 in just two years. I achieved this by firstly having the trust of past customers due to my reputation for problem-solving and getting things done. This enabled me to get on the vendor lists of some of the largest Oil & Gas companies in the world such as Shell, BP and Wood Group and several leading Drilling companies.

I oversaw the growth of the company from a small single unit depot in Lancashire turning over £116,000 per annum, to opening further depots in Glasgow and Aberdeen bringing the turnover to £1.2million by 2012. I secured contracts with Shell, BP, and the Wood Group in the Oil & Gas sector along with Rolls Royce and BAE Systems in the marine sector.

I sold my shareholding in 2012 and worked as a consultant to the business for a further 2 years.

As Sales Manager for Scotland and NE England I was responsible for managing the sales of lubricants and building relationships with the Fiat Group dealers which consisted of New Holland, Massey Ferguson and Case Tractors along with Iveco Trucks, Ferrari, Maserati and Fiat Car Dealerships. By restoring trust, confidence and building strong relationships with the dealer principals I consistently surpassed sales targets of £1.1 million per annum.
