Facilities management group grows turnover
One of the UK’s fastest-growing facilities management groups has achieved its ninth consecutive year of growth.
Diamond Facilities Support Group, which is based on Birmingham Business Park, has posted turnover of £9.5m for 2018/19, a £1m increase on the previous year.
It follows a year that has seen the firm launch three businesses to form the Diamond Facilities Support Group in a bid to provide more than 90% of services from in-house personnel, creating 60 jobs currently, with plans for further growth.
These include fire and security maintenance and compliance through Sanctuary Fire & Security; commercial cleaning, pest control and grounds maintenance through Nationwide Property Clean, and specialist drainage solutions via Jet Through.
The group has landed more than a dozen contracts this year with high-profile names such as Ryder, Mitchell & Butlers, Yates and AFI.
Adam Atkins, joint managing director of the Diamond Facilities Support Group, said: “We have bold and achievable ambitions for the group to be more than doubling its turnover by 2022, which will be expedited by the formation of the new businesses.
“Over the years we have built up solid foundations with Diamond Facilities Support as a single entity offering a range of facilities management services, which in turn has allowed us to identify key growth areas and set up dedicated businesses to service these markets.”
Helen Cooper, joint managing director of the Diamond Facilities Support Group added: “Creating an infrastructure where we can offer the majority of our services in-house with a 170+ strong workforce is vital for our long-term growth, because a consistently high level of service will increase the number of referrals that we are receiving and ensure client retention.
“The three new businesses are approaching nearly £1m each to the group’s overall annual turnover which is really encouraging as we look to grow these three brands across the UK over the next year alongside Diamond Facilities Support.”
