Facilities Management

It is nearly 20 years since the expression "Facilities Management" came into being. Initially to describe the management and upkeep of assets, it is now an everyday expression used to describe the outsourcing and management of all non-core services for businesses and is a major sector within the Built Environment.

Hays Executive has been a major player in this sector since the business was formed and over the years we have secured the appointment of many senior executives in the industry. Our key clients have come from a wide range of sectors including the following;

• PFI / PPP
• MOD
• Property Maintenance
• Building Services
• Cleaning & catering
• Security
• Housing
• Facilities Management

We have worked with many of the major plc businesses in the UK and also in Europe including Rentokil, Carillion, Reliance, MITIE, OCS, Accord, Lorne Stewart, Johnsons and Connaught to name a few, as well as public sector bodies and corporate real estate clients including banks and blue chip companies.

There has been a great deal of consolidation within this sector in recent years resulting in the market being far more stable than it has been and it continues to thrive.

It is important for a recruiter to understand this marketplace; the history of the "movers and shakers" takes time and experience. A close affiliation with the BIFM and the FMA has enabled us to do that and with Hays Executive's FM team, you can be confident that you are dealing with people that understand the business.
