The Leadership Team
Roger Green
CEO
Co-founder of Brightwater in 2015 with Rich Rankin and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey as CEO since then. Have now devolved the day-to- day running to the inexhaustible Tom Barberton, but very much involved in strategy, day-to-day. I am also the owner of other businesses including the UK-wide Spotless Commercial Cleaning Ltd and sister company Brightwaste Ltd, as well as an investor in B2B service companies. In 2022 I oversaw the acquisition of the Blue Business Water portfolio, adding significantly to our customer base. Brightwater remains close to my heart as an exercise in customer care, financial management, sales growth and employee engagement – the cornerstones to all well-run businesses.
Tom Barberton
Managing Director
Having built a successful career in the energy sector I was lucky enough to meet an entrepreneurial spirit like Roger Green in late 2021. Roger was not only able to offer me a change in sector I was looking for, but also a variety of roles across his portfolio of businesses. Very quickly my relationship with Brightwater became prominent and I was proud to become Managing Director in December ’22. My love for the company is borne out of the fantastic people I work with, the ability of the business to be truly agile, the unique wholesale structure we have in Scotland and perhaps most of all, the huge potential of the company. A combination of these make Brightwater a pleasure to be a part of and motivates me daily to achieve the best I can for our customers and my colleagues.
Managing DirectorJan Barberton
Head of Sales
Sales has always been my bag! Starting as a sales consultant in health clubs – it didn’t take long to realise it takes a lot of work in sales to succeed – But the outcome is well worth it! I moved through all aspects of sales and marketing – coaching, management, and partner relationships and finally ended up as a general manager – at that point I had to move quickly to broaden my mindset to oversee operations, compliance and finance! I started with Brightwater in 2022, promising myself I would go easy and not go all in! That didn’t last long – Brightwater is an amazing place to work! The foundations which Rog has set along with Tom’s future plans make it such an exciting place to be. We are a small team who all dig in where needed but that also means we can all have an input into the business direction…… There are a lot of incredible people in the background – Our partners, Scottish Water, our system management – All of which we couldn’t do it without!

the 'back'bone of our success
While our management team often finds themselves in the spotlight, our success wouldn't be possible without the dedicated crew who prefer to keep the limelight at bay.
