FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Pareto FM has been appointed by long-distance train operator, CrossCountry, to provide hard services to its portfolio of 27 properties across Great Britain.
The contract runs across the rail network from Bournemouth to Birmingham to Edinburgh and locations in between and will see Pareto FM deliver all associated hard services including water, fire, air-conditioning and general H&S planned maintenance.
Paul Crowley MCIPS, Senior Procurement Manager at CrossCountry commented: “To form a partnership with Pareto FM will provide numerous benefits, it will ensure that CrossCountry sites are fully compliant with all current regulations and provide a more consistent standard to our colleagues who work at locations across the country. This will also provide senior management within CrossCountry complete visibility of costs within this area of spend. Pareto FM will provide innovation, which in turn will deliver cost controls.”
Andrew Hulbert, Pareto FM Managing Director added: “To partner with an organisation like CrossCountry is a privilege. They are one of the most important infrastructure organisations in the UK and ensure literally millions of passengers safely and successfully reach their destinations daily. To be entrusted to delivery these critical hard services to this diverse and wide-ranging portfolio, is a great accolade to the continued growth in professionalism of our organisation. In CrossCountry, we have found a client that wanted to innovate, improve and ultimately impact change. It’s been an excellent partnership to date, and we look forward to achieving great things together as we grow and expand across the network.”
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management have launched the 2022 survey into how FMs approach their waste management and recycling responsibilities.
It’s the fifth year for the annual appraisal, and as we return to normal, there is a real opportunity for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and look at new, smarter waste management strategies.
In order to understand how FMs have navigated their way through the last year and their plans for meeting stringent waste and recycling targets we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, such as zero waste and landfill, the types of waste organisations produce and what helps FMs promote waste management in their organisations?
Please share your experiences and opinions on waste management. The survey will take just five minutes to complete, and as a thank you for taking part, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 Amazon gift card.
