Zenith Hygiene Group, the UK’s largest integrated, independent manufacturer, supplier and distributor of cleaning and hygiene chemicals and products, has acquired Hertfordshire- based Riverside Hygiene Supplies.
Founded by Jamie Nailard, Riverside has built a strong customer base within the healthcare, licenced trade, restaurants and leisure and contract catering sectors. The company will be rebranded under the Zenith Hygiene name and Nailard will remain with the Group to further grow the business across Zenith Hygiene’s additional product ranges.
Ringo Francis, Zenith Hygiene Group CEO, said, “We are delighted to welcome Jamie and the Riverside team to Zenith Hygiene Group. Like us, Riverside has loyal customers who value the quality service they receive, and I know that with such a similar outlook and approach they will be a great addition to the Zenith Hygiene family. This acquisition cements our focus to further grow our business and we will continue to look for additional opportunities in this area.”
Jamie Nailard, Riverside's company director, added, “I’m excited to be working with Zenith Hygiene and look forward to driving our businesses forward together. With Zenith Hygiene we will be able to give our valued customers accessibility to a wider range of products, greater field support and a more comprehensive delivery infrastructure, and it was because of this that I knew they would be a great fit for us. ”
