White Knight Maintenance bolsters senior leadership team

North Tyneside-based White Knight Maintenance has expanded its senior leadership team following a series of internal promotions as the business continues to grow.

Paul Snowdon, John Wilson, Tony McMullen and Wayne Carr have been promoted to multi-trades supervisors, stepping up from operative roles. 

John said: “Having worked at the company for nearly three years, I can honestly say I really look forward to coming to work. 

“Lee has cultivated a team who are, first and foremost, a really great group of people. 

“That has resulted in White Knight Maintenance attracting and retaining a loyal workforce.

“Within the company, there are progression plans and incentives in place. 

“I’m enjoying my new role as a supervisor acting as a conduit between the client and team and sharing my knowledge with younger colleagues and watching their skills develop.”

They join existing senior team members Daniel Scope, office manager; Joanne Gunn, buying and scheduling manager; and Kelly Bishop, finance manager.

Founded in 2011 by Lee Bishop, White Knight Maintenance provides property maintenance, building services and compliance solutions across the North East. 

Its 20-strong team delivers heating and plumbing, fire safety, gas works, renewables, building maintenance and facilities management for homeowners, housing associations, local authorities and commercial clients.

The business, which currently has a turnover of £1.8 million, is set for further expansion as it develops its renewables offering.

Lee added: “Paul, John, Tony and Wayne have each been with the business for a number of years and are more than capable of stepping into senior positions.

“We have a strong track record of retaining staff and developing their careers and for younger team members, it is important they see progression paths and gain valuable knowledge from more experienced colleagues.

“Our senior team will play a key role in the development of our team and I am delighted they each accepted the positions.”
