This very successful building services, maintenance and facilities management company provides its clients with a comprehensive range of planned and reactive services covering all trades, mainly throughout the Midlands region of the UK.

The business is enjoying very impressive growth and profitability at time of going to market and this trend is expected to continue as it secures ongoing lucrative long term maintenance agreements with its many blue chip customers.

Long standing relationships have been built with key organisations throughout the Midlands and beyond, be they customers, engineers or contractors in both the public and private sector. Due to this the business has achieved excellent market penetration and built up a highly desirable client bank. Clients, both direct and indirect include large blue chip commercial companies who have huge estates that need maintaining. Properties this business maintains include shopping centres, large commercial offices, retail units and leisure facilities.
The company boasts some very prestigious customers, many of whom have hundreds of sites. The business holds Nominated and Preferred contractor status which gives it a real edge in the market and this is fuelling impressive year on year growth in terms of sales and profitability.
The vendors have in place a comprehensive and dedicated team who ensure clients are effectively managed. It has developed a highly efficient Help Desk facility to support this.
The organisation is fully conversant with all current legislation and guidelines relating to health, safety and quality. The company has excellent internal procedures and policies that are backed up by the companys impressive range of accreditations and registrations (see below) that ensure a high quality of service and treatment, both for customers and employees.

Expansion Potential
The business currently operates mainly on a regional scale ( West Midlands-which accounts for circa 80% of revenues) but there is no reason why it could not expand its model further. Whilst it currently services some very large customers with large property estates there is huge scope for expansion both within the existing customer base and beyond.

The building services sector is strong and the trend is expected to continue with many private organisations and public sector bodies outsourcing this function, due to increasing legislation and health and safety requirements. This business is ideally positioned to service this need moving forward.

With a more proactive sales and marketing function a new owner could significantly increase revenues and turnover within the business, both with existing and new clients.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business enjoys high levels of repeat business, word of mouth recommendations and referrals as a Nominated contactor in the region. In saying that it could benefit from a more strategic medium/long term sales and marketing campaign. It does have a basic yet informative website but does no advertising/marketing at present.
