Stonbury, the leading water and environment sustainability specialist, has appointed Colin Perry-Davis as CEO, effective 1 January 2026.
Colin has a wealth of relevant industry experience that will serve the business well in its next phase of growth, most recently as CEO of Rock Compliance for the last five years. Trevor M Hoyle MBA LLM CEng FICE FIoD, who has led the business for the last 4.5 years, is retiring and will continue as a Non-Executive Director.
Colin will lead the next phase of Stonbury’s growth, further developing its range of water, wastewater and nature-based, low-carbon environmental services.
Commenting on his appointment, Colin Perry-Davis said: “I am incredibly excited to be joining Stonbury as CEO. Trevor and the rest of the management team have built a great foundation, and Stonbury has a strong reputation, a clear purpose and a team that cares deeply about its work and its clients. My aim is simple: to support and build on the great work to date so that, together, we create a company that everyone is proud of.”
Trevor Hoyle added: “It has been an absolute privilege to play a small part in Stonbury becoming the best water and environment sustainability specialist and I thank everyone involved for making that happen. With Colin’s extensive industry experience, supported by an outstanding team, the business is in good hands to continue its successful growth journey.”
Headquartered in Bedfordshire, Stonbury specialises in sustainable asset management solutions, delivering exceptional value outcomes in potable water, wastewater and the environment. Over the last 4 years, the business has more than doubled in size under Trevor’s leadership and in 2024, it acquired Panton McLeod, the industry-leading advanced inspection and cleaning specialist of public, commercial and industrial water assets.
