Micronclean has promoted Stella Yates to sales director and Sophie Harris to QSHE & HR director, in recognition of their continued contributions and strong leadership within the business.
These appointments also reflect the Skegness-based firm’s commitment to keeping a healthy balance between developing internal talent and bringing in fresh perspectives from outside the organisation.
Over the past 12 years, Stella has developed her career within the business. Starting as a business development manager, she has earned several promotions and taken on a variety of roles, while also gaining her MBA. This positions her well to take full responsibility for the sales and service teams as sales director.
Sophie joined the business three years ago as its first QSHE associate director. Since then, she has made the role her own – launching the Microngreen business objective, reinvigorating health and safety, and expanding her remit to include HR as QSHE & HR director.
Robert Parker, managing director at Microclean, said: “Stella and Sophie both deserve this promotion. We are lucky to be able to take a long term view for our succession plan that allows us to make really strong appointments. This is great news for both Stella and Sophie and also for Micronclean.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Phil Cresswell, who is stepping down from the board at the end of the year after 14 years as Sales Director. Phil is continuing to work in the business as National Key Account Manager looking after our Key Accounts team.”
