Redruth-based Coastline Services has appointed Mark Hill as its new general manager.

Originally from Helston, Mark has worked in property maintenance throughout Cornwall, London and the South West for over 20 years, first learning the tools of his trade at the then-named Camborne Technical College.

He joined Technique Property Services in Redruth in the mid-1990s and worked his way up the ranks, leaving as contracts manager. At Coastline Services, Mark will be heading up a team of around 75 staff, providing a range of repairs, property and grounds maintenance services to both Coastline Housing customers and external clients.

He joins Coastline already bringing extensive local knowledge. Mark said: “I’m passionate about Cornwall and about local housing being maintained to an excellent level. It means that all our local neighbourhoods are showcased at their best and helps us all take pride in this fantastic part of the country. I can’t wait to get out and about in Coastline’s communities and to start meeting our customers and partners.”

Coastline Services is the subsidiary of social landlord Coastline Housing, providing a range of property and grounds maintenance services to a number of private and commercial clients.
