Award Winning Facilities
Management Solutions
Platinum Facilities & Maintenance Services Ltd recently won not one, but two highly
regarded awards in recognition of their commitment to health and safety management
- the British Safety Council International Safety Award in the ‘Distinction’ category and
the RoSPA ‘Gold’ award, respectively. HSE International spoke to Stuart Preston, Head of
SHEQ, to discuss the company’s award winning approach.
P
latinum Facilities & Maintenance Services Ltd was formed
in 2001 as YJL Facilities Limited, a subsidiary of Montpellier
Group PLC. Operating primarily in the public and private
sectors within London, South East and the Home Counties with
a business strategy to grow their geographical capability to the
South West and Midlands, they are a technology-led, mechanical,
electrical, public health and building fabric maintenance services
provider, delivering a first class service provision to corporate real
estate. Their main clients include corporate head office buildings
for legal, banking and finance sectors and all general business
commerce headquarters.
In 2001 they were awarded their first technical maintenance
services contract with Redab Properties, followed in 2002 with their
first major contracts for Denton Wilde Sapte (now Dentons) & BACB
(British Arab Commercial Bank Plc), both of which they retain to this
day.
In 2003, a management buyout of the company led to a name
change and in 2004, Platinum Facilities & Maintenance Services Ltd
(PFMS) was born. That same year, PFMS based their headquarters
in the heart of the City of Londo
