Commercial contract cleaning business Ecocleen has appointed Mark McMullen (pictured) as commercial director.

The former operations director of Sodexo UK has over 20 years’ experience in developing and delivering plans to drive profitable growth and business transformation.

During his time at Sodexo, Mark was instrumental in the turnaround of a £100 million-plus business and successfully winning the Ministry of Defence’s first super contract under Project HESTIA, worth £200 million.

“Ecocleen colleagues and partners can be proud of their achievements in supporting clients and customers, in particular during the recent pandemic, and I feel privileged to be one of the team,” Mark says.

“In the years ahead, we will work together to create an even greater organisation, supporting more customers and clients by continuing to embrace new technology, playing our part in tackling climate change, enforcing high standards and ensuring Ecocleen is the UK’s number one choice for employees, clients and franchise partners.”

Jean-Henri Beukes, managing director at Ecocleen, says: “The team and I conducted a thorough search for this crucial appointment and I’m confident Mark will make a great contribution to the ambitious vision and leadership Ecocleen requires to build further growth upon our solid foundations.

“Mark takes his people with him on transformation journeys, meaning he is a tremendous fit with our strong company values.”

As well as completing a thorough introduction to Ecocleen’s business, in the coming weeks Mark will be meeting with as many employees, clients and partners as possible.
