Glendale promotes Alex Paterson to managing director

Chorley-based green services supplier Glendale has announced three senior promotions as part of a  restructure of its regional operations.

Alex Paterson has been made managing director and will be responsible for developing and directing the firm’s business strategy, leading management teams across the country and overseeing the company’s performance within key sectors.

He joined the business in 2015 as regional director for the north, responsible for driving operational and financial performance in the region, before taking on the role of operations director.

In addition, the business will now operate as two main territories, north and south, each led by a dedicated managing director. It previously divided operations into four regions; the north, the midlands, the south west and the south east.

Mike Brunskill, formerly Glendale’s sales and marketing director, has been made managing director north, while Adrian Wickham becomes managing director south, stepping up from his role as south east regional director.

Alex Paterson, managing director at Glendale, said: “Glendale is built upon its reputation for maintaining the highest standards in green service delivery, and I’m relishing the opportunity to lead the company forward, develop key strategies and drive the success of the business.

“The restructure of regional operations provides us with a renewed focus to continue growing and achieving our objectives.

“Both Mike and Adrian bring formidable talent, leadership and vision to their new roles and I’m looking forward to developing the business with them.” Glendale delivers a range of specialist green space management services at locations across the UK, including grounds maintenance, landscaping and arboriculture.
