FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Drainage and exterior cleaning business, Jet Through, is set to double its annual turnover after securing a wave of new clients.
The Birmingham-based business has reported it is set to end the year with an annual turnover of more than £1.4 million after securing work with well-known brands including Yo Sushi, Polygon, Boots and Gym Group – taking its client base to around 25.
The past year has also seen the firm investing around £250,000 in its infrastructure to lay the foundations for further growth, including 16 new vehicles with specialist jetting and vacuum equipment.
Services include the cleaning, unblocking, jetting and repair of drainage systems on commercial and residential properties, as well as specialist cleaning of gutters, sewers, walls and floors.
Luke Yates joined Jet Through as an engineer four years ago and is now an Associate Director, leading the day-to-day operations of the business with the support of Jodie Wilson as the Operations Manager. He said: “I’m really proud of the way the business has bounced back so strongly from the pandemic when, like many other businesses, significant amounts of our custom fell away.
“In December, we are on track to more than double our annual turnover for the third year in a row – and that is testament to the hard work of our workforce across the UK.
“We are forecasting further nationwide growth again next year, when we hope to expand our presence working with housing associations, pub chains and public sector organisations.”
Planned, proactive maintenance is a keystone of every FM strategy. However, with current cost constraints, there are many demands on Facilities Managers’ maintenance budgets. When it comes to drainage and plumbing, however, the expense of repairing blockages or dealing with flooding could vastly exceed the cost of preventative maintenance.
Given your role as an FM Professional, we would love to hear your views, challenges & experiences, and opinions on drainage & plumbing within the workplace.
