Lexia Group appoints first
non-executive director
John Purvis, former chief executive at White Young Green, has been appointed by Lexia Solutions Group as its first non-executive director.
The newly-created board position signals a commitment by the asbestos and environmental solutions specialist to strengthen its board, as it continues to diversify the business and deliver ambitious growth plans over the next three years.
Purvis stepped down as chief executive at WYG earlier this year, having overseen a decade of strong growth for the multi-disciplinary consultant, taking it from £21 million to £210 million turnover in ten years.
Lexia’s Managing Director, Jason Davy, said of Purvis’s appointment: “John’s impressive track-record of implementing successful diversification strategies and his considerable experience in the sector makes him a natural fit for Lexia. As we continue to drive the business increasingly at a national level, into new areas, the need for strengthening the board becomes very important.
“As our core asbestos business continues to show strong growth, we intend to remain vigilant for opportunities in the market which have a synergy with the group’s specialist capabilities. John’s experience will help inform and accelerate that process and we’re delighted to have him on board.”
John Purvis commented: “It’s tremendously exciting to become part of a new chapter in the fast-moving Lexia story. Although a relatively new name to the industry, I have the utmost respect for the business and management team, and have no doubt that the Lexia story will become an industry bestseller very quickly.”
Established in 2004, the Lexia Solutions Group includes Rhodar, the leading asbestos abatement company; Thermac, a specialist equipment manufacturer; Novas, a property reinstatement company; Bagnall UK, a demolition and land remediation specialist; and Life Environmental Services, an environment compliance and risk management solution specialist. The group has seen a 100 per cent growth in the last three years and plans to increase growth further, both organically and through acquisition.
