Senior hire at Kingdom Group

The facilities management and people services provider has appointed Martin Ball as Group Marketing Director to support its next phase of growth.

Ball brings to the Group some 25 year’s marketing experience gained in the UK and Europe – working with several professional services providers and construction manufacturing companies including The Linde Group, BOC (UK) Ltd, Protan and Stephens Scown.

The appointment comes as Kingdom Group continues to invest in UK facilities management, recruitment and other people-focused industries through organic growth, mergers and acquisitions. Last month, Brindley Medical joined the Group and is now operating as Kingdom Medical Services.

Speaking about his new appointment, Ball said: “I’m delighted to be joining Kingdom Group at such an exciting and pivotal time – the Group has ambitious plans for growth and further acquisitions. Kingdom Group is diversifying into being a solutions provider for FM and people services, so it really is a great time to be part of the launch of digital solutions and platforms that offer greater value to current and future customers. We already have an enviable client list and there are many exciting opportunities to grow those we have and to secure new ones.”

Kingdom Group Chief Executive, Terry Barton, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Martin at such an important time in our expansion. He’s one of a number of new additions to our senior management team and will lead on our marketing strategy during what is expected to be an exciting time for us and the 10 companies that operate within the Group.

“Martin has the skills, values and experience that we were looking for, gained during a successful career across professional services and manufacturing in the UK and mainland Europe. Our success is built on the expertise of our people and the quality of the services and solutions we deliver, Martin’s experience and marketing skills will be invaluable as we continue to grow.”

Kingdom Group is one of the UK’s largest privately run companies and employs over 7,000 people. It provides a full range of FM and recruitment services – including security guarding, security systems and technology, cleaning, hygiene services, recruitment and training – from its eight nationwide offices.
