Tennant Company UK appoints Stephen Downey to lead dedicated Hospitality Division
Tennant Company - an established leader in the manufacture and supply of professional and industrial cleaning machines to the UK marketplace within logistics, warehousing, industry, building service contracting and facilities management, and has now established a division dedicated to supply cleaning equipment to the hospitality sector, headed up by Stephen Downey.
Taking on the new role as national account manager for Hospitality, Stephen has previously held successful sales accounts roles in B2C consumer electronics and roles within a cleaning machine manufacturing company on a national level.
"I'm excited to be joining Tennant as part of the company's UK team at this time of growth and the product offering we have prepared for the UK's hospitality industry is absolutely fantastic," he says.
Known for the larger cleaning machines within the market, Tennant Company has acquired The Decarbonizer, and can offer a range of small-space cleaning machines which are ideal for busy restaurants, commercial kitchens, hotels, holiday parks, theme parks and leisure facilities. The range includes compact scrubber dryers, tub and upright vacuum cleaners, walk-behind sweepers, pressure washers and backpack vacuums.
The Decarbonizer is a bespoke, innovative stainless steel soak-tank system designed to efficiently and easily clean grease and burnt-on carbon from a range of commercial kitchen equipment including baffle and overhead filters, grill plates, oven hobs, fryer baskets, oven trays and more.
"We're aiming to offer our professional range to an industry that perhaps previously thought Tennant machines were only for the larger manufacturing industries, when in fact the company prides itself on being able to offer cleaning machines in every category," explains Stephen.
Tennant UK also has one of the industry's largest, directly-employed services teams, operating nationwide, with a range of service contracts to suit each individual customer or group, to ensure their cleaning operations have the least possible downtime.
In 2017 Tennant Company acquired the IPC Group of companies (including Vaclensa) meaning it can now offer customers professional and industrial cleaning machines from the widest product portfolio including exclusivity on The Decarbonizer, Makita cleaning machines and Motorscrubber.
