Welcome to Hans, our new MD of Europe

10 February 2025
Ending 2024 with the news of ECH-Groep, our first acquisition in mainland Europe, was a significant milestone for BES Group and signalled the beginning of our exciting, planned growth outside of the UK and Ireland. 

To support this, we are delighted to share that we have welcomed Hans de Regt to our team as Managing Director, Europe, further reinforcing our commitment to overseas growth. 

Hans is a wonderful addition to the BES Group team, bringing with him more than 15 years’ experience in the Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) sector at businesses such DEKRA and Normec Group.  In addition, he has spent much of his almost 30-year career in senior leadership roles, focusing on helping ensure the most positive customer experience, while driving business growth. 

“We are thrilled to have Hans on board.  He is already spending time with the ECH-Groep team to ensure they are well positioned for a successful and exciting future. We know he will quickly prove to be an invaluable member of our team and will work alongside our Corporate Development function as we continue to explore even more opportunities to grow by acquisition in Europe,” said John Campbell, BES Group CEO.   

“I am delighted to have joined the BES Group team and am very excited by this brilliant opportunity.  I fully support the focused approach to growth by acquisition favoured by BES Group over recent years and look forward to helping drive this forward in my new role.  I am excited about putting my experience, both in the UK and mainland Europe, to good use as we develop our overseas strategy.  We have a very fantastic future ahead of us and am extremely pleased to be a part of this,” commented Hans.
