Its 40-strong team, including a network of on-site and mobile engineers, is already recognised as a leading sustainable and certified carbon neutral maintenance partner within the FM sector and works with many of the UK’s leading property managing agents.
Dees Maharaj, chief sales officer at Ecoserv Group commented: “Over the past couple of years we have taken giant strides in challenging circumstances to ensure we are best placed to take advantage of opportunities within the FM marketplace. We believe maintenance, cleaning and waste management provide an excellent fit, enabling us to deliver responsible, multi-service solutions that create safe and high-performing workspaces. With our sustainable service offering we have become a disruptor in the sector, focused on the need to not only reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but also Scope 3.”
Jean-Henri Beukes, chief executive of Ecoserv Group added: “The acquisition of Cooltech was a significant milestone in our transformation to a multi-service FM specialist. This latest name change is part of our consolidation of recent acquisitions to ensure we are best placed to maximise cross-selling opportunities, develop our offering and target further acquisitions. We are already looking at ways of expanding our presence in the northwest of England and introducing complementary reactive maintenance services.”
