Atlas FM has appointed Dan Smallbone as Managing Director of Atlas London.
Atlas London provides cleaning and support service solutions across the capital, serving some of Britain’s leading organisations, including professional workplaces, prestigious buildings and property management companies. It is part of the Atlas group, which became 100 per cent employee-owned in 2024.
In his new role leading Atlas London, Smallbone will focus on building on the company’s already strong operational foundations. His priority is to empower teams to manage customer relationships confidently, make effective decisions, and continue to raise standards.
Smallbone joins the business with a strong track record of building high-performing, customer-focused operations. As former Managing Director at MCFT and later Solutions Director at Mitie, he is known for spotting opportunities, building strong teams, and delivering customer-orientated services.
At MCFT, he spent eight years helping to transform the company into an employer of choice. During his tenure, he reshaped the culture, sharpened the focus on excellent service and drove sustained organic growth.
Commenting on his new appointment, Smallbone said: “I am delighted to have joined the Atlas family at an important time. The values here are brilliant and I’m joining an ambitious leadership team. Atlas London is a successful operation with a great platform. My job is to help our people build on that and unlock even more potential – all with the goal of providing excellent services to our clients.”
Ed Bolton, Managing Director at Atlas Cleaning, commented: “I’m very pleased that Dan has joined our team. He brings valuable skills and leadership, with the ambition and drive to develop an already-strong business to greater heights. Dan’s track record of building ever-stronger customer relationships fits perfectly with where we want to take Atlas London over the coming years.”
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
