Mark Barnes

Regional Director - Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex and Isle of Wight

I would describe myself as a support worker for every member of my team. People matter – our business counts on them, and so do our customers. That’s why it’s my personal mission to ensure they have the knowledge, training and equipment to do their jobs as efficiently, safely and productively as possible.

I have worked in the cleaning industry for six years at different levels, after serving in the Armed Forces and the Fire Service. My earlier career required dedication, positive action and structure – all excellent attributes for this role.

Not many people know that during my fire service days I was an extra in the TV Series “London’s Burning” and even had a line!

The thing I love most about working at Nviro is that I get a lot of satisfaction! I have always been outcome driven and love comparing the before and after of a job well done, whether that be a couple of photos or delivery against KPIs.
