FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
RDM Electrical & Mechanical Services has started working with VINCI Facilities on a substantial Ministry of Defence (MoD) Future Defence Infrastructure (FDIS) contract with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).
Over the coming years, the South Wales-based company will be working with VINCI Facilities on six MoD sites in the Oxfordshire area.
The contract, which is part of the MOD’s new Future Defence Infrastructure Programme, will see RDM inherit an additional two sites and more than 20 existing staff members. It will also see the company employ an additional five new staff in key roles, including senior management positions.
VINCI Facilities has supported the defence sector for over 70 years, delivering maintenance, repair, project management, and refurbishment services to operational and support facilities.
Dave Kieft, Director, RDM Electrical & Mechanical Services, said: “We look forward to a very successful working relationship with VINCI Facilities over the next few years. RDM will be responsible for ensuring day-to-day delivery of great customer service and performance across the remit of our work, which includes electrical, mechanical building fabric and environmental engineering services at the six MoD sites in Oxfordshire. We will also be working very closely with RDM’s sister company EFT Consult on all the relevant design and innovation opportunities.
“We are very proud to have a proven reputation for going the extra mile in all the projects we undertake. As ever, we remain focused on providing world-class services and solutions, which will make a positive difference to the end users – the forces personnel that do such important work in the defence of our country, and that live, work and train at the six MoD sites across the Oxfordshire region.”
While some personnel are finally returning to the office – the great majority of organisations (up to 83 per cent) anticipate a hybrid mix of on-premises and working from home to continue for the foreseeable future.
This means that when it comes to providing access to the workplace, where once it was simply enough to maintain a welcoming reception for visitors, organisations today must also keep a close eye on access permissions in real-time to keep buildings safe and secure while ensuring they comply with compliance.
Pitney Bowes Smart Access Management in association with FMJ has produced a new White Paper which explains how to create a welcoming, actively managed environment for authorised people.
It explains how new Smart Access Management™ (SAM) delivers a complete, real-time and data-driven view of all your people, visitors and contractors, to help give you greater control and visibility.
