Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG), one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist services to the construction and facilities management sectors, announces a key leadership transition as part of its long-term strategic plan.
After two years as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at PTSG, Nikhil Varty will be stepping down from his role and leaving the business for personal reasons. On behalf of the Board and all colleagues across the Group, we extend our sincere thanks to Nikhil for his contribution during his tenure and wish him every success in his future endeavours.
Concurrently, we are delighted to confirm the appointment of Greg Ward, PTSG’s Chief Operating Officer as CEO with immediate effect. Greg brings with him a proven track record of strategic execution and operational
excellence. Since joining PTSG, he has played a pivotal role in reshaping the Group’s operating model and embedding a performance-driven culture at scale. With a deep understanding of our markets, our people and our customers, Greg is exceptionally well-placed to lead PTSG into its next chapter.
“This is a significant moment for PTSG,” said Executive Chairman Paul Teasdale. “We are a business that sets high standards – for ourselves, for our performance and for our industry. Under Greg’s leadership, we will continue to unite commercial ambition with operational delivery, ensuring that every part of our business is working in step to meet the evolving needs of our customers across the UK and beyond.”
PTSG has grown consistently and deliberately since its formation in 2007, operating today across five key disciplines: Access & Safety, Electrical Services, Building Access Specialists, Fire Solutions and Water Treatment. Through a successful strategy of organic growth and targeted acquisitions, the Group now comprises more than 3,000 employees across more than 50 sites.
With a culture anchored in safety, service excellence and agility, PTSG partners with some of the UK’s largest and most complex businesses to deliver critical infrastructure services at scale. The company’s innovative approach – balancing specialist technical expertise with entrepreneurial spirit – has made it one of the fastest-growing and most admired operators in its field.
Greg Ward’s appointment marks a continuation of that trajectory. As CEO, he will drive the next phase of PTSG’s growth by aligning sales and operations more closely than ever before, reinforcing the Group’s reputation as a trusted, responsive and high-performing partner.
“We have built something extraordinary at PTSG – but there is more to come,” added Teasdale. “Our growth targets are ambitious, but with the right leadership, the right culture and an unrelenting focus on delivery, they are absolutely achievable. Greg has the full confidence of the Board and of our people. He brings energy, integrity and clarity of vision – and he understands that true leadership is not just about results, but about
people, relationships and pride in the work we do.”
As PTSG continues to scale in both capability and customer impact, the Board remains confident in its direction and in the strength of its leadership team. This transition represents continuity as much as change and a renewed commitment to delivering value through excellence, every single day.
