The Cordant Group has launched Cordant Services in a move designed to offer additional value and services to existing customers, while providing a strong foundation for an ambitious growth programme.
It is supported by a multi-million pound investment in technology and infrastructure that will see the business offer a fully transparent solution and a strong collaborative approach to customer relationships.
Cordant Services will be headed up by chief executive Chris Kenneally, with Jamie Reynolds as group commercial director. It will comprise four divisions which will be closely aligned while retaining their individual specialist natures. All existing cleaning and security businesses will be rebranded as Cordant Cleaning and Cordant Security respectively. There will also be two new divisions: Cordant Technical and Cordant Specialist Services.
Cordant Technical will provide technical project management in areas such as installations of new equipment, retrofits of mechanical and electrical equipment that is past its lifecycle, interior fit-outs and refurbishment, and assist clients with electrical compliance. In its initial phase the division will be managed by Jamie Reynolds alongside his commercial role.
Cordant Specialist Services, headed up by Brendan Musgrove, will build on the Group’s existing expertise in cleaning by extending the offer to cover a range of highly specialised environments. These range from critical environments such as data centres, pharmaceutical operations and hi-tech manufacturing and food processing, to specialist applications such as high-level cleaning and biohazard cleaning.
Underpinning the launch is a major investment in technology due to be completed mid-2015 which will deploy new systems across the whole business, making it fully transparent for clients and facilitating open-book accounting. In addition, mobile technology is being put at the forefront enabling the business to be fully responsive to changing workplace situations, to optimise efficiency and value for customers.
