FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
The Carlton Forest Group, based in Worksop and North Nottinghamshire, has appointed Doncaster-based firm Barnsdales FM Ltd as the new facilities manager of its portfolio of warehousing sites across Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
The contract, which was awarded following a competitive tender process will see Barnsdales FM take on the exclusive responsibility for the service and maintenance of four sites across two counties.
The appointment comes on the back of several recent high-profile successes for Barnsdales, including The Highfield Group and iPort – the UK’s most advanced multimodal logistics hub.
Commenting on the contract award, Gareth Farmer, Director of Facilities Management at Barnsdales FM, said: “This is a great addition to the growing portfolio of clients for Barnsdales Facilities Management, especially as the logistics sector contributes £139 billion Gross Value Added (GVA) to the UK economy every year. It’s a sector that has shown incredible resilience, despite the impact that the pandemic and Brexit have had on haulage and supply chains.
“I’m thrilled that Barnsdales FM has been awarded this contract and we’ll ensure that the four sites in Worksop, Tuxford, Bawtry and Hellaby are expertly maintained and managed.”
Paul Scanlon, Chief Operating Officer at Carlton Forest Group, said: “These four sites provide racked and bulk storage with products ranging from furniture, food, packaging and non-food retail. The sites, covering 120,000 m2, have BRCGS accreditation and COMAH certification, so it’s a valuable part of our portfolio. We’re delighted to be working with Barnsdales FM, which will be taking over the management of these premises.”
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.
