I am a focused and dedicated facilities management professional with a background in property, expertise in developing strategic plans and significant operational experience.Acknowledged as a determined and motivated individual, who is passionate about the provision of effective facilities management and the development of large and productive teams, I am quick to learn new processes and procedures in order to add value from the outset. This has been clearly demonstrated throughout my career to date, which has included supporting the sale of my current business to a new private equity company where I lead the due diligence process for the sale to a new private equity business. Through my career I have built a broad and diverse experience and have consistently developed commercial opportunities. To date I have forged and maintained a number of key relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that all buildings complied with all relevant regulations, ensuring a safe, efficient and cost effective total facilities management service at all times. In a previous role I built an FM department from the ground up including the employment of new and existing staff that transferred across to the business from other providers. I possess the ability to achieve desired results and maintain a positive and supportive attitude to effectively deliver solutions, and have the proven ability to thrive in any environment.As someone who excels in overall management, organisation and planning, and in the provision of top-quality customer service, I am confident that I would provide a positive influence within a forward thinking organisation.Specialties: Change management, turnaround management, contractor management, maintenance and property management, Healthcare, Independent Schools, children\'s nurseries, housing, Service proposals and management
