FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Arcus FM and building materials distributor, Travis Perkins plc, have signed a new partnership for facilities management services across the Group’s estate.
Travis Perkins, which employs over 20,000 staff across more than 1,400 branches and sites has entrusted Arcus FM with the coordination of its FM provision across its base of sub-contractors.
The new contract will operate across the Group’s full portfolio of businesses, from the Travis Perkins builder’s merchant, to Toolstation, BSS, Keyline and CCF.
Arcus FM will provide 24/7 Helpdesk services from a customer-focused team; as well as a CAFM system integration in partnership with Verisae – supporting Travis Perkins plc on a journey to embed the system across its business and provide its full estate with greater control and visibility of work orders. As a complementary service, Arcus will also deliver compliance management, auditing and reporting services.
In summary, this will provide a single point of contact for all facilities management requests and give the business full assurance of statutory compliance.
Chief Commercial Officer at Arcus FM, Theresa Bell commented: “This is another fantastic step forward for our business – securing a contract of huge potential with another market-leading business, and is testament to the exceptional service and expertise that our helpdesk and support services provide our customers. Travis Perkins plc is a great fit for us – looking to innovate and drive forward excellence right across their estate – and we look forward to delivering that with them over the coming months and years.”
Nick Pinney, Group Property Director for Travis Perkins plc, said: “In Arcus we have found a partner whose values are very closely aligned to our own. As a leading partner to construction, we are committed to modernise and work with key partners like Arcus to improve efficiencies and work in partnership to ensure safety, compliance and reap the benefits of great facilities management.”
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
