STEVE MYLES JOINS CHRISTEYNS TO LAUNCH CLEANING AND HYGIENE RANGE
Steve Myles has joined the established laundry cleaning specialist Christeyns, and part of his early remit will be to help launch a new cleaning and hygiene range in the UK.
Steve joined Christeyns earlier this year from another leading speciality cleaning manufacturer, and has over 30 years’ industry experience with companies such as Ecolab and Holchem. As business manager at Christeyns, he will be responsible for positioning the new range at the forefront of UK hygiene and cleaning products for caterers, with a comprehensive product and support package claimed to be second to none.
Steve commented: “I’m thrilled to be working with Christeyns, a major internationally respected operator, and the leading company in the UK’s laundry market. Expanding into cleaning and hygiene is an exciting new step, and I’ve been closely involved with developing this new range. I can’t wait to get it out into the market so people can see what a great package is on offer.”
Steve is originally from Essex, and claims to play golf and tennis – badly.
