In 1989, when Doug founded Principle, his vision was to build a company focused on relationships and results. His unwavering attention to both has made Principle Cleaning the company it is today: one that people are genuinely proud to work with and work for. His industry reputation has led him to twice take on the role of Chairman of the cleaning industry body, Cleaning & Support Services Association most recently since 2015.

Doug is particularly proud of the industry recognition that Principle has received over the years. From Premises & Facilities Management awards to multiple prestigious Golden Service awards, each is testament to the team’s achievements and continued improvement. A particularly special award however, is Doug’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the 2016 European Cleaning Hygiene Awards, confirming his and Principle’s reputation and influence beyond the UK.

Outside of work, Doug is a keen sportsman: enjoying skiing and refereeing rugby in the winter and windsurfing in the summer. He is also the grandfather of 3 energetic little grandchildren who still laugh at his jokes, although we’re not sure for how much longer.
