Steve Courtney for senior Jangro role
Jangro, the largest network of independently owned janitorial supplies companies in the UK, has appointed Steve Courtney as its new National Accounts Manager – he joins following a career at Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies, which included national sales and branch management.
Steve will be responsible for developing the Organisation’s national accounts strategy and will work as team leader on national account development with Jangro Member companies.
Joining Jangro after 15 years sales, marketing and customer service experience in the janitorial, cleaning and safety supplies business, Steve brings a wealth of knowledge gained in his
previous roles.
Steve said: “Jangro offers an enormous opportunity for me. I am excited to be joining a supplies business with a similar turnover but more customer sales/service outlets than I have been used to. Another big attraction is having 40 motivated regional owner-operator outlets providing a personal local service. It is not a plc, there are no shareholders to pay and I totally support the Jangro ethos of customer care and going the extra mile. This is a fantastic opportunity for me to work with some of the best professionals in our industry.” Further information on Jangro’s UK’s product range contact: 0845 458 5223, email

Automatic choice for
manual window controls
SE Controls continue to innovate within the testing construction sector by acquiring their southern distributor RKA Services (UK) Limited to strengthen their window control product portfolio. RKA are approved suppliers and installers of Teleflex-Morse Clearline manual window control systems, with over 30 years experience in the sector. Continuity of customer service was key to the deal and this is guaranteed with Ray Allday and his team continuing to run the business unit, now trading as SE Controls Manual Window Control Division.
Martin Oates, SE Controls Commercial Director, confirms the perfect fit of RKA Services within the business, “SE Controls are one of the largest and most respected companies in the UK providing smoke and natural ventilation solutions and whilst we have worked primarily in the automatic sector our customers have always required manually controlled ventilation systems especially in the education sector. Ray and his team bring a wealth of experience to SE Controls in this sector and allows us to seamlessly integrate his business into the group resulting in improved customer service. Existing customers of RKA will of course continue to benefit from Ray’s excellent service but will also benefit from the ever increasing range of SE Controls products and services. It’s a win win”
