Southern Contracts Ltd is proud to announce the appointment of Hugh Elphinstone as a Director, marking a new chapter in the company’s long-standing family story.

Hugh, a grandson of the company’s original founder, has been with the company for 22 years and carries forward the same spirit and family values that have been at the heart of Southern Contracts since its beginnings in 1964. His appointment as a director further strengthens the family connection at the top of the business, continuing to work alongside his cousin and Managing Director, Adam Elphinstone.

Speaking on Hugh’s directorship appointment, Adam said: “Southern Contracts has always been about family; the way we work together, and in the way we look after our customers. Welcoming Hugh onto the Board feels like a natural next step in continuing the legacy started by our grandfather. We’re very excited to carry this family tradition into the future together.”

From its roots as a family business on the South Coast to its position today as one of the UK’s most trusted providers of commercial laundry, kitchen and refrigeration appliances, Southern Contracts has always put people first. With Hugh stepping into this new role, the company looks forward to blending family values with fresh energy for the years ahead.
