A Decade with Plastic Solutions
It's Jon's 10th Workivarsary with Plastic Solutions. As General Manager Jon knows all there is to know about the portable sanitation industry.
General Manager Jon is celebrating his 10-year anniversary at Plastic Solutions.
Jon took up the challenge of “driving” Plastic Solutions in March 2014 and now reflects on over 30 years in the portable sanitation industry. A “rustily” fluent German speaker, Jon is well-known in the industry across the UK and Europe, spending time as Managing Director Europe for both a toilet manufacturing company (1991-2008) and a manufacturer of ground and surface water monitoring equipment (2011-2014).
During this time, Jon sold over 25,000 portable toilets (impressive, right?). This included selling D-tox, our sister company, their first fleet of toilets, and fast forward a few years and Jon became General Manager of Plastic Solutions. With his strong background in customer service, product development, marketing and sales, Jon has grown Plastic Solutions from a company offering just three products when he started, to one with well over one thousand: with two divisions, two websites, and two web shops.
After 10 years at Plastic Solutions and over 30 years in the sanitation industry, Jon is well-equipped to help anyone with questions, not only about our product range, but also on many aspects of the sanitation business in general. Jon is committed to customer service: if he can help, he will!

‘I love the variety in my job and no one day is the same. I’ve enjoyed growing the business, product range, and expanding the team: mentoring individuals and watching them develop and become experts at what they do. I like to be at the coal face with the team and particularly enjoy being involved with the marketing aspects of the business, coming up with products and ideas, and finding new ways to help and communicate with customers.’
In his spare time, Jon likes to get into the countryside whenever he can. As a keen bird watcher and walker, you’ll often find him in the Peak District with his family or at home working in the garden. When it rains (so, most weekends in the UK) Jon enjoys watching sports and is a long-time fan of Formula 1 and rugby.
When back in the office, Jon sets the company strategy and offers technical support and advice, whilst mentoring and guiding the sales and marketing teams. He also ensures the office is a happy work environment and keeps the team entertained with his (many) jokes.
Christian Heritage, MD for Plastic Solutions added:
‘Jon is the driving force behind Plastic Solutions and without his experience, knowledge, and commitment, the company would not be the success it is today. From his industry and sales knowledge to his customer service experience, he is a massive part of the team. Congratulations to Jon on a decade with Plastic Solutions!’
Congratulations Jon, here's to another 30 years!
