Manufacturing

One provider for all your facilities services

Whether you're looking for integration of multiple services or a complete total facilities management solution, we've the expertise required to take care of all your facilities throughout the manufacturing environment. From tech-led manufacturing environments to industrial manufacturing sites, we develop a bespoke solution to reduce our client's management and administration responsibilities and provide cost savings through the provision of streamlined services.

Managing multiple vendors throughout large manufacturing sites is a complex and costly task. In a high risk environment, where production runs continuously, you need to be able to call upon your facilities provider 24/7, without any disruption to productivity. With one point of contact for all services, we cut the time you spend liaising and managing multiple service providers, and ensure robust reporting processes so you can easily see we meet our key performance indicators (KPIs).

Single services for large and multi-site manufacturing organisations

Catering is extremely important for your business. With skilled teams often working in remote locations, and on shift throughout the day and night, you need to be able to provide good onsite catering facilities and a high quality, round the clock food service that provides the nutrition required to support a healthy and productive workforce whilst catering for a variety of tastes.

Nutrition has a fundamental impact on the physical and mental health of your workforce. Manual labour demands an increase in calories, while still maintaining a healthy balance, whereas shift work requires the right food to be available at specific times of the day and night. Our goal is to provide food that improves the overall health and wellbeing of your staff, so that they benefit from better concentration, sleep and mood, as well as maintaining a healthy weight, having more energy and a higher resilience to stress. We design, install and manage restaurants, cafes and canteens, serving hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks for your workers throughout the day and night - supporting body clock requirements and minimising health risks.

Our food services cater for large groups of customers - we provide variety in menu choice, but efficiency in service - to ensure your workers are all fed and can continue with their work at their convenience. We encourage employees to make healthy choices by building them into your restaurant or canteen environment, with seasonal health themed menus and promotions, as well as transparency about the nutritional information of the food we serve. We also provide vending services, with healthy and tasty options to keep workers going throughout their shifts. By investing in your employees' health and wellbeing, you gain a more productive workforce.

Manufacturing sites are often located in areas away from any other amenities. We can provide a range of convenience services, including retail outlets selling the essentials, and high street shops such as M&S 'Food to go' and WHSmith.

We can also manage hospitality at your sites, and are experienced in hosting business lunches, drinks receptions and fine dining experiences so that you can entertain your clients.

We provide a range of cleaning services for both highly technical and industrial manufacturing environments. As part of our core cleaning services, we have the expertise required to carry out careful cleaning practices under strict conditions and environments with particular specifications, and in high risk areas. Our cleaning regimes are scheduled to ensure there's no impact to your workforce productivity. We're also able to respond quickly to reactive requests and resolve any issues with efficiency. Our dedicated helpdesk service ensures you always get the service you need.

Security is a priority for manufacturers. We provide integrated security solutions including manned guarding, keyholding and mobiles, alarm and CCTV monitoring, and access control to ensure the safety of your workforce and the security of your property, equipment and products. Our integrated approach combines technology and manned security presence, delivered by one team, under one single management structure.

Our clients benefit from:

• the expertise of a nationwide security services provider
• reduced costs by having one provider delivering all security services, and
• a dedicated security manager who oversees the whole security service and provides a single point of contact and reporting.

Our monitoring centre, which holds NSI Gold status, offers 24-hour security, fire, environment and lone worker monitoring services to ensure the safety of employees working on shift throughout the night.

Value add support services as part of an integrated facilities management services solution

In addition to our core services, we provide a number of support services including reception, mailroom, porterage, archiving, horticulture and waste services as part of an integrated facilities management solution for your company. With multi-skilled teams we deliver efficiencies and savings for your company, and we have a dedicated helpdesk to manage all tasks and reactive facility service requests.

Health and safety focused

Workplace safety is at the core of all of our operations. We're committed to protecting our colleagues and your employees and operate a 'zero tolerance' accidents policy. In potentially risky environments such as manufacturing sites, the importance of managing risk through near miss reporting is vital. We work with you to develop robust guidelines that encourage safe working practices in the first instance, and a set of procedures in the event of an accident. If an accident occurs, we use AIRES - our Accident Incident Reporting Electronic System - to record and investigate it with the immediate, underlying and root causes identified and addressed in real time. In creating a bespoke solution for our clients, we're committed to health and safety, sustainability and investing in our people.
