We’re excited to announce we’ve expanded our team with three new hires, including a new area sales manager for the north west of England and Scotland, amid continued contract wins.

Robert Johnson joins us with over 23 years of experience working in dust control, and brings expertise in system design, manufacturing, and explosion protection, including ATmosphères EXplosibles (ATEX) and Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR).

His experience lies mostly within dust control for the surface preparation industry, and the containment of dust from the grinding of asbestos. Through this, he has both a P401 and P402 certificate for asbestos analysis and surveying.

Johnson also spent 15 years working within communications at the Royal Air Force.

Also joining Johnson are cousins Joe and Jordan Haggerston, who will be working as site fitters at APS, installing and servicing dust extraction systems.

The new hires signal our continued growth, after having recently secured contracts with major national firms in the food and beverage processing industry.

With a client-base spanning many sectors, ranging from food to pharmaceuticals, we’ve worked with numerous large manufacturing firms over the last three decades, and recently installed a new state-of-the-art dust extraction system at Fox’s Biscuits’ West Yorkshire factory.

Matt Brown, our sales director, said, “I’m delighted to welcome Rob, Joe and Jordan to APS, as we continue to strengthen and expand our team with experienced, talented people. We’ve enjoyed a great first half of 2025, with many new contract wins, and we’re looking forward to building on this over the next six months.”.
