FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Following a rigorous tender process, EMCOR UK has successfully retained its contract with DE&S Deca (formerly the Defence Electronics & Components Agency).
Deca is a trusted MOD and industry partner which recently merged with Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S). Its highly professional team aims to provide benchmark support services as the principal in-house organisation dedicated to maintenance, repair, overhaul, upgrade, procurement and managed service provision in the defence avionics, electronics and components field.
The EMCOR UK team provide a range of hard and soft services, including carbon reduction, asset management, fire systems, waste management and project services.
Mike Walton, Strategic Account Director at EMCOR UK, said: “We’re thrilled to continue this partnership and it’s thanks to our team that we have been trusted to continue our great work. They have delivered time and time and again and gained the confidence of everyone at DE&S Deca. We have an intimate knowledge of the client and its objectives and are ready to continue to provide a world-class service.”
Karen Wickstead, Head of Estates & Facilities at DE&S Deca, said: “We’ve been very impressed with EMCOR UK’s work and are delighted that we’ll be able to continue relying on its team. Our ongoing transition with DE&S will bring about new challenges and we have full confidence that EMCOR UK will deliver above and beyond to help us achieve our goals.”
Are you confident that your contractors and suppliers meet ethical labour standards and human rights obligations?
For many FM services, managing multiple third parties in the supply chain can be a complex challenge. And, in a sector that relies heavily on migrant workers and 65 per cent of FM services facing difficulties in sourcing workers (Q4 2022 RICS survey), exposure to exploitation and modern slavery is a very real risk. With the UK one of the biggest destinations in Europe for trafficking of workers, you need full visibility of the people you work with, so you can minimise your risks and identify which part of your supply chain is most vulnerable.
FMJ, in partnership with Alcumus, is pleased to bring together a panel of experts to discuss how to create an ethical supply chain in FM.
Taking place at 11am on Wednesday 21st of June, the webinar will discuss:
- The regulations to be aware of that are aimed at preventing human right abuses.
- How to gain greater visibility of modern slavery compliance in the supply chain by having a robust verification process in place.
- Steps to creating a compliant, ethical supply chain.
