by Shane Henson — May 20, 2013—EMCOR UK, a division of the EMCOR Group with more than 100 years of experience providing integrated facilities services to global and local businesses, recently announced it is withdrawing from the construction market to focus on facilities management services.
According to the company, this strategic move closely aligns EMCOR UK’s business with the needs of customers, concentrating on where it delivers most value—in collaborative, long-term relationships with customers. This continuous improvement strategy includes reviewing its business operations in accordance with customer requirements, as well as always looking for ways to more efficiently and effectively fulfill customer needs.
In line with this established approach, EMCOR UK identified that due to the construction market conditions in the U.K., and customers’ changing requirements, the company’s focus was best placed in areas where it can more fully leverage its knowledge and strength to positively impact customers’ businesses.
EMCOR UK’s facilities management business has been consistently successful in working collaboratively with customers to deliver best-in-class FM services and positively impact customers’ organizations, the company says. Over the past five years, the facilities division has delivered record revenues and profitability growth year-on-year, evidencing the success of its customer-centric approach. This is further demonstrated by EMCOR UK being the first FM company to be accredited both with the British Standard in Collaborative Relationships BS 11000, and also recently BS 8903 in Sustainable Procurement.
Facilities services customers will continue to enjoy benefits from EMCOR UK’s specialist technical services, including refits, refurbishments, fire and security systems, data centers and communications, as well as a full range of integrated hard and soft facilities management services.
The decision to focus on facilities management is expected to help better position the EMCOR Group as a leader in facilities management services. In addition to providing FM services, the Fortune 500 company provides mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure, LEED construction, design/build, and life safety services.
