Mike Knight – Managing Director

Formed the company in November 2013, previously being a Director of a large Northwest based Construction Company, following 17 years of commitment to the Company. Mike’s role included dealing with the asbestos management requirements, ISO compliance, audits and inspections and generally ensuring the company conformed to legislation. Mike decided after 17 years with the same company that it was time for a new venture and formed Knight Specialist Services. Since setting the company up, Knight’s has grown from strength to strength, gaining a number of clients from various sectors, including The Diocese, Other Education Bodies, Pharmaceutical Industry, and small Private Limited Companies.

Away from work Mike is a keen cycling enthusiast and spends most mornings at 5:30am racing around Greater Manchester whilst most are still dozing in bed!! Also Mike’s home life is taken up by his lovely young daughter, who keeps Mike very busy in the evenings and at weekends. Mike also loves the outdoors, walking, biking, golfing and river fishing. Another passion of Mike’s is a nice glass of red wine with some good food……organic of course!

Gemma Ackers – Quality Director

Joined the company in the role of Assistant Surveyor. Gemma previously worked for a scaffold company for 14 years and had a varied role, which included Quality Management Inspections, Audits and liaising with the British Standards Institution to ensure company compliance to ISO9001, ISO14001 and OSHA18001. This has enabled Gemma to bring all her knowledge and experience to her new role. Gemma is ​excited​ about developing the family run business.

Away from work when she is not keeping the guys in check she loves the outdoor lifestyle and likes to go hiking with her husband and dog Dexter. She is also a keen skier and also likes a good drink at the apre ski. Gemma spends a lot of her time in the Lake District which is her favourite place.

Gemma’s weak spot is she can’t cook, however she loves to eat nice food cooked for her!!
