PHS – Truly Integrated Workplace Services

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- As consumers we like to buy everything in one place.  Convenience is as important as service and quality.  It’s the same with businesses.  Wouldn’t it be nice to source all your services and products from one supplier?  One point of contact with a business you know you can trust?

With nearly 50 years of experience in workplace services, the PHS Group is trusted by more than 300,000 clients throughout the UK who take advantage of great service and quality every day.  What many don’t realise is that there are in fact 20 different companies within the group, catering for pretty much everything required in today’s workplace. The new role of PHS Group Integrated Sales Manager, in the form of Keith Hufton, aims to offer existing customers the chance to benefit from all of the services and products on offer.
After 4 years as Head of National Accounts with PHS Washrooms and a further 20 years in other business-to-business sales roles, such as Cadburys and Mars, Keith certainly has the pedigree to deal with PHS Group’s discerning customers.  As the PHS Group Integrated Sales Manager he will act as a dedicated point of contact for larger customers throughout the UK as well as introduce existing clients to all of the PHS Group’s businesses - from drinking water dispensers to equipment calibration; floor matting to air fresheners; cleaning supplies to waste disposal; secure document storage to confidential destruction; interior planting to crate hire; work wear to toilet rolls, in fact just about everything that is required to keep your workplace clean, safe and legal.

Along with FM companies and cleaning contractors, the PHS Group also serves many of the major supermarket and high street shopping chains.  Some of these have already realised the benefits of using several different suppliers within the PHS Group and are enjoying preferential contracts backed by the knowledge that PHS Group is reliable, experienced and more than capable.

As he embarks upon this new role, Keith says, “It’s about time that we offered our customers this integrated service which reflects the growth, shape and size of the PHS Group.  The business has expanded so much over the last few years that many customers aren’t even aware of the full range of services and products on offer.  Our clients will retain contact with the experts in each division, as they always have, but with the additional benefit of my role as a key contact to ensure that the best contracts are being negotiated and, where applicable, rebates are being paid.
