Our Team

A wealth of experience here to help and support you

Ben Gibson

managing director

Having joined The Pure Group in 1996 Ben has now spent over 25 years in the industry. His early days at The Pure Group were spent as an engineer, however gradual promotions led to a Directorship in 2001 and eventually to the position of Operations Director for the Group. In 2010 The Pure Group was sold to Green Compliance PLC. Following significant restructuring and integrating Ben was made Projects Director for the business and along with 3 other Directors had responsibility for over £12m of water and air related services.

In February 2013, Ben left Green Compliance to provide consultancy services to the industry and in October 2013 joined Concept as Managing Director. When not at work Ben enjoys training at the gym, various sports, time with his family and furthering his education (he is a ‘graduate’ of Henley Business School).

Craig Skuse

service contract director

Craig joined The Pure Group as an apprentice in 1998 and quickly developed a passion for the industry. Following his apprenticeship Craig progressed through the company from engineer, to site supervisor and ultimately to Operations Manager.

Craig continued his role as Regional Operations Manager once The Pure Group was sold Green Compliance PLC. At that time Craig was responsible for 15 engineers.

Throughout his time at both The Pure Group and Green Compliance Craig had close involvement with the service contracts division. This experience has helped him step into a new role with Concept Environmental Solutions as Contracts Director. Craig’s knowledge of L8 legislation, cooling towers and steam boiler maintenance has helped him ensure his customers are extremely well looked after. He builds excellent relationships with his customers and has played a major part in helping develop and grow the business into a successful national company.

Craig Drew

 project sales director

Craig has over 20 years experience in the water industry. Craig’s initial role was as an engineer for The Pure Group. Having progressed to a site management role Craig and the company realised that with his background, hands on experience and outgoing confident personality he might have a future in business development.

Craig has never looked back since that day and has now proven himself to be an exceptional sales person. His success is largely down to his desire to offer the greatest levels of support to clients and to offer them solutions so that they can successfully deliver projects. Craig (as are all the Directors) is looking forward to expanding the business by not only nurturing the existing client base, but building future long lasting relationships through excelling in customer service & professional assistance in what can be a demanding industry.

Craig loves to spend time with his family and in particular taking his son to watch Bristol City play.

Nick Campbell

engineering director

Since leaving school in 1991 Nick has spent over 30 years working within the water treatment business. He carried out a 4 year mechanical engineering apprenticeship with Houseman with his main duty being installation of water treatment plant.
 
In 1998 Nick decided to move on and subsequently joined the Pure Group (formally Water Pure Systems) as a water treatment engineer where he spent 15 years in various roles from engineer, site supervisor, operations manager and project manager.
 
In early 2013 Nick helped set up Concept Environmental Solutions where he is now Engineering Director. Nick looks after our rapidly expanding Engineering division which provides critical services as far as Legionella control and specialist water treatment solutions are concerned.
 
When not at work Nick loves to spend time with his family and loves watching Bristol Bears down at Ashton Gate.

Mark Rowe

air hygiene director

Mark is a relative new-comer to the industry having joined in 2019. He joined from another well respected supplier where he held the position of National Sales Manager, supporting a team of 12 internal and external staff. Mark joined Concept as Air Hygiene Director with the remit to build upon the foundations that have already been laid down by the business since their beginnings.

From School he began with an Apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering before being drawn towards Sales and Business Development. After a number of years as a Sales Executive and Account Manager his path led to Sales Manager for an Equipment Manufacturer specialising in the Waste, Recycling, Remediation and Quarrying industries. This job resulted in international travel whilst supporting a Distributor Network as well as running a team of 5 people covering the UK from Head Office.

Looking for a new challenge, an opportunity arose to take the key management and leadership skills he had gained and to transfer them to a new industry.

We have a fantastic team of more than 60 employees however for now we will just be introducing you to the Directors of the business.

Please could you pass on my thanks your Technician Lee Bircham for all the hard work he has put in this week completing the six monthly TMVs. He has taken an extremely professional outlook on how to complete the TMV service on our contract (Bristol V4s) which are in themselves challenging please could you acknowledge the following points that I observed whilst spending all week with your operative; Punctual, smart appearance, extensive knowledge of the tasks being carried out and willing to answer questions when challenged, polite to the tenants on site, willing to accommodate our business needs, going the extra mile discussing subjects that are not relevant to the tasks being carried out.

As you would be aware the Chemical Descale work was completed successfully on the 3rd and 4th June . The engineers Dave Skuse and Ben Williams who done the work were friendly and very professional. They showed and explained every step of the chemical descale process which was very educational as it was the first time seeing this type of work done on site. They are great assets to your company.

Just wanted to give some feedback to you on a site visit I did yesterday with one your guys, Keith, at 1 Morningside. I was really impressed with Keith throughout, a really nice chap who was very open and easy to have a nice conversation with. He answered all of my questions very competently and clearly was very knowledgeable inregards to his tasks, the risks associated and methods required to be followed. Keith was very positive of Concept as a business as well as your management style. Keith was a real champion of you guys and clearly a credit to you. It was a really enjoyable visit and a refreshing change to some others I have completed recently. Thanks for all you and your team are doing, it all seems very positive at the moment.

First of all I would like to thank you and your team for the support, advice and actions on site, during the Pandemic period. Your assistance with the flushing and sampling program has enabled us to keep a Compliant estate and any anomalies in the results, as always, were quickly identified and dealt with.

This email is just to say thank you for all your hard work and support that you always provide. This particular job (Harrods Health & Beauty Store, Edinburgh) has been a very challenging project and it would have been easy for you to make things more difficult. Thankfully (even though it must have caused you more stress) you have managed to reprogramme/shuffle other works to accommodate the delays and still give a high level of service. Gareth has borne the brunt of the site issues but when liaising with my client, the clients consultant and the landlords team, he has been polite, professional and knowledgeable. I’m grateful for the time, effort and professional service that you and your team always seem to provide and look forward to working together for many more years in the future.

We at Brothers have been working with Concept Environmental since their inception as a company. The quality of service is excellent, with staff efficient and polite at all times. They offer outstanding technical back-up and support is always available from experienced and knowledgeable staff. In addition to the usual monitoring service that they provide, we have found it beneficial that training is also offered when needed. Concept Environmental is a company committed to compliance and good practice in the services it offers; we enjoy working with them and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future – we wish them every success.

Following the recent works you carried out for us at King Street in Bristol, I would just like to thank you for reacting so quickly to our needs and in subsequently carrying out the works in a very professional manner. It is very reassuring to know that we can rely on companies such as Concept to help us get these often awkward projects over the line and help us maintain our good client relationships. Once again, thanks for all your help on this project and we look forward to working with you in the future.
