O riginally established in 2003 , Millennium Services Group was publicly listed in 2015 when three businesses , based in Melbourne , Sydney and Adelaide , came together as a national company to offer cleaning and security services , before expanding further the following year with the acquisition of Airlite , a Building Support Services provider from Perth .

Millennium ’ s Chief Information Officer David Benjamin has entered the second year of his tenure with the company focused on three key areas : cost , consolidation and stability . “ We had to look at the total cost of ownership following the company ’ s listing in 2015 ,” he recalls . “ The consolidation was about bringing systems together to give them that history of the organisation . There was some duplication of technology systems , so it was an opportunity to unify the four branches of the company . Lastly , we had to get to a point where our systems were stable and delivering where they needed to because , when I joined , the business had simply outgrown the technology solutions originally put in place .”
