14forty relaunches brand and confirms its ethos and vision to mark 10th anniversary

Facilities management provider 14forty, part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, has relaunched its brand with a new corporate brand identity, logo and redesigned website. To mark the start of its second decade of business, 14forty has also coupled this with formalising its ethos and vision, setting itself strong, measurable targets.

Centred around championing the company’s partners, people and the planet, this embodies a set of distinct core values that frame the way the company will do business.

Represented by the acronym FIRST – these include being Forward-looking, demonstrating Integrity and Respect, delivering exceptional Service and leveraging the latest Technology and innovation. Through these values, 14forty is ready to embrace the challenges in the market for the next decade.

14forty has set six ambitious, impactful and most importantly, measurable, milestones to bring its ethos to life and commemorate its tenth anniversary:

• Achieving 50 per cent gender representation by 2025 across all levels of the company.
• Delivering Net Zero in FM services by 2030, beginning with establishing the baseline in its own offices in 2023 to create a roadmap for reduction.
• Implementing a Frontline Focus programme where senior operational leadership spend a day each quarter working in frontline service delivery for our clients.
• Committing to career learning assessments within six months of joining for 100 per cent of its people, with annual updates during performance reviews.
• Partnering with the Woodland Trust conservation charity and committing to protect 67 hectares of Woodland Trust estate for a year.
• Launching a 14forty Planet-First Awards in 2024 to celebrate the best in Innovation, Impact, Collaboration and Individual Sustainability Champion.

Mauro Ortelli, 14forty’s managing director, said: “Whilst reflecting on our business and achievements over the last decade, we wanted to update and refresh our approach and positioning, so our business is ready for the next decade of our journey.

“The world is a very different place now, with new challenges, technologies and excitingly opportunities. We know that it is our people that make a real difference to our clients, and that we have a commitment to our wider community to prioritise our impact on the planet.

“Our focus on partners, people and the planet, alongside our commitments, are a personal guarantee of what we will deliver for our employees, the world and current and future clients. I’m proud to lead the company into its second decade of business and continuing to make a difference in the FM industry.”
