Antony, who will report into Morag and join the B&I leadership team, said: “It’s an exciting time in the FM market right now, and we see many opportunities for growth.

“Part of what attracted me to 14forty was the huge potential we have as part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, which has such a significant footprint in this industry, a long history in hospitality and a leading reputation in the social value space, too.

“That’s important to me. We will aim to lead in the ESG arena, ensure our customers receive world class services and, at the same time, look to grow the brand.
