Meet the Team

Jo Thompson

Managing Director

With over 25 years of experience leading businesses, my vision for Spectrum is to be the go-to choice for customers in healthcare, hospitality, education, and facilities management who value exceptional customer service, partnership, and quality hygiene solutions. I prioritise collaboration and strong relationships, with a focus on recruiting and retaining talent. By investing in team training and empowerment, I ensure we deliver outstanding customer service, drive growth, and build long-term client loyalty.

Tim Chadwick

Commercial Director

I guide Spectrum’s strategic direction, driving revenue growth, managing risks, and capitalising on opportunities. With a deep understanding of all departments, I provide insights and support to ensure sustainable growth. I bring 18 years of management experience, including leading high-profile projects in London such as The British Museum, The National Gallery, The O2, and South Bank University.

Outside of work, I enjoy socialising, playing pool, and walking my cocker spaniel, Choppa.

Kelsey Moss

Operations Manager

Since joining Spectrum in March 2016, I have thrown myself into learning as much as possible about the company and the daily processes. I have spent time doing various roles within the company, from sales order processing to remote relationship management and I am now happy to be taking on the challenge of Operations Manager.

Mark Mullin

Business Support

Due to my long service, I have worked in many roles and acquire a versatile skill set, utilised mainly within the ecommerce team, customer services team and the operations team.

My product knowledge is exceptional, and my experience of the business is vast so this helps me add immense value in my support role which I know is appreciated by my colleagues.

Daniel Smith

Sales Order Processor

I moved to Scarborough nine years ago, bringing a range of skills with me as a qualified chef, along with over ten years of experience in the transport and customer service industry. I’m genuinely excited to join the Spectrum team and am looking forward to this new adventure, where I hope to bring some fresh ideas and contribute to the team’s ongoing success.

Outside of work, I’m just a regular guy who enjoys socializing, watching football and rugby, and playing pool with friends. Bradford City is my home team, and I always make time to support them.

Alan Ruder

Warehouse and Distribution Team Leader

I have committed myself to contributing to Spectrum's continuous growth as the Warehouse and Distribution Team Leader. It is my goal to achieve complete customer satisfaction, and to ensure efficient and smooth running of our operations, and having great colleagues to work with can only inspire me further to succeed.

In my spare time I hand-paint denim and leather jackets with album covers, football badges, and other cool designs of which I have completed well over 100 in my time.

Sara Chaplin

Finance Controller

With nearly three decades of accounting experience in financial and management roles, I joined Spectrum in April 2021. My responsibilities include monthly management accounts and enhancing the reporting structure for budgeting and forecasting. The supportive and hardworking Spectrum team fills me with excitement for the company's ongoing growth. Outside work, I juggle parenthood, walks with our spaniel Bella, and pursue cycling and running.

Shane Leppington

Service & Product Distributor

I am a long-term serving member of the Spectrum family and it's something I very much enjoy. My role starts at the point of picking products and follows all the way through until they are delivered to our customers, with a smile.

I take great pride in my customer service skills, which I believe is really important in customer facing roles.

Anto Connaughton

Service & Product Distributor

I joined Spectrum in February 2017 as a Service & Product Distributor. My role involves making sure products are loaded onto the van and delivered to our customers.

Excellent customer service is essential in my role. I am enjoying meeting new people and representing Spectrum. It is without doubt the best job I have ever had. Great staff and everyday there is a new challenge.
