PHS appoints experienced industry leader to spearhead launch of new business division

PHS, the parent company of 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy Services has appointed Mark Kearney as director of a soon-to-be launched division of PHS solutions.
 
The new arm of the business will build on the current capabilities of 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy, with the new division to complete a more holistic offering of capital works across the residential and commercial sectors.
 
Mark, who brings over 25 years’ experience in the housing and construction sectors, joins the firm to lead the company’s new division. A post-graduate RICS Quantity Surveyor, Mark has held senior leadership roles across a range of regeneration and new build projects throughout the North of England, previously working for Engie (Keepmoat) and Wates Construction.  
 
In his new role, Mark will be responsible for launching and growing this division within PHS Solutions. The move builds on the established reputations of 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy, with a view to offering customers both domestic and commercial, a seamless, full-service experience.
 
Mark said: “I’m proud to be joining PHS at such a pivotal point in its growth. PHS Solutions represents a real opportunity to broaden what we can offer our customers, and I’m excited to be leading a team that’s focused on the Customer, quality and innovation.”
 
Phil Pallister, CEO at PHS, 0800 Repair and Oakes, said: “Mark’s deep expertise and leadership in the sector make him the perfect person to drive this next chapter. With the launch of this new branch, PHS will, for the first time, be able to bid for projects previously out of reach under our 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy brands. This expansion enables us to fulfil our commitment to providing reliable, end-to-end service for all our customers.”
 
The division has already secured a 10-year framework with Gentoo as part of the Gentogether Partnership for whole house refurbishments and is looking to build on the existing strong customer base of the wider group.
 
Jason Oakes, a director at PHS said: “We’re delighted to have Mark join us and be part of our growing team at PHS. His arrival comes at an exciting time as we expand our new division, which will be central to delivering our 10-year framework with Gentoo. Working with partners, our team will play a key role in improving the energy efficiency and quality of homes across Sunderland.”
