Soft-services provider Churchill has appointed John Riley as the new MD of Churchill Environmental Services (CES).

Riley joins with over 30 years of experience within the public and private FM sector and business services management. His previous role was a seven-year stint as the regional director for the Ministry of Defence. Riley was responsible for a large portfolio of buildings across the UK. These were managed and maintained for the MoD at over 250 locations. He has experience in running the maintenance, operation, and improvements of all building requirements. 

In his new role, Riley will be responsible for overseeing both CES and related environmental compliance operations within Churchill. CES is a nationwide service for environmental compliance, specialising in water and air hygiene services. 

Riley will work with Spencer Culley and the rest of the existing CES team to build on the quality of service and success delivered to clients to date. The team ensures that organisations can manage their compliance whilst having a measurable positive effect on sustainability and their social impact, enabling them to achieve their objectives in these areas.

John Riley, MD of Churchill Environmental Services, said: “I am thrilled to have joined the Churchill team. I have been familiar with Churchill for several years, and it is exciting to now be a part of a business on this growth-path. When the opportunity came up to look after the environmental compliance side of the business, it was an easy decision for me. I look forward to working closely with the team and aiding in the development of the business across the UK as we continue to expand our service offering.”

James Bradley, CEO at Churchill, said: “We’re delighted to have John joining the senior team here at Churchill as part of the environmental services division. His extensive expertise and experience make him a great fit for this role, and we look forward to seeing his vision for the business’ growth and development.”
