Our PeopleROCK COMPLIANCE
LEADERSHIP TEAM

Colin Perry-Davis

Chief Executive Officer

As CEO of Rock Compliance, Colin is passionate about creating a safe, honest, team culture where our clients regard us as the best national provider, and our team members regard us as the best place to work. 

Before joining Rock Compliance, Colin was a senior international business change and transformation consultant working predominantly in private equity restructure and turnaround, having completed three private equity turnarounds and subsequent sales. He has also completed consultancy turnaround projects at IWS and Omega Red. Previously, he held the position of COO at Enserve Group and senior executive roles at United Utilities, E.ON, Capital One Bank and British Gas.

Quality and service are the cornerstone of our business and we want every order we receive to be perfectly delivered. To achieve this, Colin believes in measured delivery without compromise.

Colin has a BSc (Hons) in Physics and an MBA. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (FCIPS).

Colin is passionate about running, and Saturday mornings will always find him doing laps around his local park accompanied by Frida, the Team Rock dog. He also loves restaurants and holidays.

Graeme Murray

Group Sales and Marketing Director

Graeme has over 20 years’ experience in air and water compliance.  He oversees the development and execution of Rock Compliance’s sales and marketing strategy and is passionately committed to customer service and enabling the sales team to deliver an exceptional experience for clients.

He achieves this through providing training and development opportunities and supporting career progression, empowering each team member to meet their full potential.

In his role at Rock Compliance, Graeme takes inspiration from market-leading companies from all sectors, whether that’s the consistency across geographies achieved by MacDonald’s or Amazon’s timely delivery, and finds ways to incorporate their strengths into Rock Compliance. This allows us to constantly challenge the norm within our industry and, as Graeme says, “out behave the competition” in all areas of the service we deliver.

Graeme has a BA (Hons) in Environmental Chemistry from the University of East Anglia.

Graeme is a very keen member of his local running club, always chasing new personal bests in 5K, 10K, marathons and beyond! He recently undertook a huge personal challenge with a 70K ultra marathon along Hadrian’s Wall to raise money for the charity, for children with Cancer in UK. 

Shaun Sinclair

Director of Business Improvement

Working with the functional heads, Shaun determines and delivers the improvement strategy for the business. He ensures efficiency at all points in the process, from point of sale to invoicing, to provide an exceptional customer experience.

His role involves managing procurement, fleet and efficiency projects to maximise profitability. He is also committed to engaging the business in lean working to meet performance targets. To achieve these goals, Shaun is always focussed on bringing out the best in his employees and working closely with the senior management team.

Shaun sees potential and the bigger picture. He makes the links between people, product and opportunity. He is, in his own words, “all in when I commit”, and always strives to be an ambassador for our company, its mission and values.

Shaun has a BSc (Hons) in Technology and Economics from the Open University, an MBA (Distinction) from Surrey University, and a Diploma in Economics. He is a Member of the Water Management Society (MWMSoc) and has 25 years’ experience in the water industry.

A club runner, Shaun loves to be up in the mountains - Brecons, Kiliminjaro - as well as the big spaces like Dartmoor. He is a vegan and health food guru, loving nothing better than a mushroom coffee to help him unwind after a busy day at work.

Brian Booth

Technical and Innovations Director

Brian has had a long and illustrious career in the water industry, which has taken him from the UK to Saudi Arabia. Always ambitious, he set up his own water treatment company when he was just 29 years old.

Brian is deeply technical and understands the industry from a molecular level up. He specialises in designing chemicals for specific water treatment applications – Rock Compliance is very unusual in that we have our own chemical factory, so Brian really is in his element with us.

Brian is extremely knowledgeable about legionella and is an active member and treasurer of the Legionella Control Association (LCA) committee, where he also served two terms as an independently voted committee member.

Brian has a BSc (Hons)in Applied Chemistry from the University of Salford. He is a Chartered Chemist, a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and a Member of the Water Management Society (MWMSoc).

As a child, Brian collected cars – he still enjoys this hobby, but the cars are bigger and need a larger garage! When not collecting cars, our racy technical and innovations director enjoys driving them – the faster the better.
