Our People
The professionals you can trust to really clean your ducts and keep you happy. Friendly and approachable, our team take pride in their work, committed to doing a darn good job for you.
Nigel Smith
Managing Director
Don’t listen to what the staff say! He is focussed and determined and sees PdC as the industry benchmark for consistent high-levels of service and achievement. In leading the way in high standards and best practice, he envisions others in the duct cleaning industry to join him on his mission of raising standards, which will aid the development of the industry as a good career choice, and a better consistent service for all.
He is passionate about his staff and their well-being as well as PdCs customers and the service they receive – although that might not extend to being happy about holidays!
An early adopter of COVID, he reckons to have picked it up last year somewhere between Japan and Vietnam.
Scary – business/people first – passion – dedication – drive – mentor – abrupt – family orientated – sarcasm – witty
Maria Baines
Acting Senior Customer Manager
Expert – gets it done – oracle – PdC rock – supportive – caring – prioritises others before self – schedule queen
Maria is also a glutton for punishment! Not only did Maria come back to us after a couple of years out (her previous stretch was 5 years), but she came back to work directly for Nigel as his Executive Assistant. She is not envied by her colleagues!
Maria is bright, loyal, diligent and invaluable to the company. Everybody needs a Maria in their company.
Aslinn Arthey
Sales Administrator
Sharon Payne
Sales Administrator
Laugh that makes you laugh (filthy) – supportive – unstoppable – good light – honest – details – everyone’s mate – trustworthy
Sharon makes sure the cogs are oiled and it all ticks.
John Tobin
Business Development Manager
A very experienced sales professional with many years under his belt looking after “blue chip” and household names through account and sales management.
With a glass half full attitude and a positive outlook John enjoys everything he does including singing Sinatra in his spare time and is seldom down even during tortuous rounds of golf, which is more than we can say for those playing with him!
John is the newest addition to the PdC family. He is the father to 4 children, a fan of Brentford and he does love to chat, for gods sake do not let him near a microphone!
Robert Applin
Internal Sales Consultant
Sam Harding
Eye for detail – diligent – team player – mood brightener – not a fun sponge – wicked laugh – tough skinned
Sam is a new addition to the PdC family and she comes with all the attributes that fit and work for us and our customers. She has a great eye for detail, she is a doer, she is determined and last but far from least, she is bloody good laugh.
