Facilities Show 2019

METRO ROD – STAND FM5675

Peter Molloy, MD at Metro Rod says: “Our team of commercial drainage experts will be on stand throughout the Facilities Show 2019, with information about the drainage solutions that Metro Rod has to offer and providing expert advice to anyone who needs it.

“We will be showcasing all of Metro Rod’s drainage-based services at the show including pre-planned maintenance, blocked drain clearing, drain repair, gutter clearing and CCTV drain surveys. We will also be providing information on two of our newer services, asset mapping and robotic cutting.

“There is nothing our team doesn’t know about commercial drainage so we would encourage attendees to head over to our stand to ask any questions they may have or to speak in more detail to the Metro Rod experts about their drainage requirements.

“As well as advice and information on drainage solutions, we will also be running a crazy golf competition on our stand with a bottle of champagne on offer each day to the winner.

“The Facilities Show allows us to meet with many of our existing clients over the course of three days which is important as our strong customer relationships are really important to us.

“As well as meeting with existing clients, the show also allows us to build new relationships with people and companies that we aren’t currently working with.

“The team will be attending as many seminars as possible – there’s so much on offer. You’re likely to find one or some of us around the Facilities Management Theatre. And it will also be interesting to learn more about what the future holds for technology when it comes to the workplace, so we’re particularly excited to visit the Workplace Technology Theatre.

“Being able to meet a whole range of suppliers of various services, and enabling face-to-face interaction between our experts and visitors to the show always proves invaluable, as this way of working enables both parties to get a real understanding of the challenges and required solutions when it comes to drainage. So, from our point of view, we’ll be able to inform visitors on all the services we provide, including some of our newer additions.”

MONEYPENNY – STAND FM6085
Louise Wilson, Business Manager, Corporate says: “Moneypenny has been working alongside facilities managers for many years and has built an impressive reputation for enabling huge cost savings and driving innovation within workplaces nationwide.

“You can find the team at stand FM6085. We’ll be introducing delegates to our outsourced switchboard solution. They can learn more about how technology can help businesses to reduce the costs of their switchboard functions whilst enhancing service levels, 24/7.

“What we enjoy best about the show is being able to hear first-hand what’s challenging the industry and ensure that our solutions continue to meet the demands of facilities managers and generate real, tangible results.

“Plus, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with existing clients! We’re passionate about getting to know the businesses we work with and shows like this provide the perfect opportunity to do so. Attending a show like this isn’t just about educating our clients and prospects – it’s an opportunity for us to get clued up on new developments, too. We’re hoping to visit as many seminars as possible and look forward to expanding our network within the industry.

“One of the main benefits visitors get from visiting the show is that it’s so easy to get stuck in the day-to-day of work and fall into a trap of thinking that the way you do things is the best – or only – way. Coming along to the show with an open mind and exploring what’s out there will help businesses stay ahead of the curve. The training and networking opportunities are an added bonus!”

SERVICE WORKS GLOBAL – STAND FM5470
“Service Works Global (SWG)” says Hazel Bedson, Strategy Director for SWG “will showcase our flagship facilities, property, space and workplace management software, QFM, which comprises a suite of modular management tools, with a fully integrated mobile app, proven to optimise the efficiency of assets, buildings and services and drive measurable cost savings.

“Following the launch of the eBook ‘The Future is BIM’ in partnership with Facilities Show, we will also feature our QFM BIM offering and demonstrate how facilities and space management software can be integrated with BIM technology to improve the quality of FM data and reduce operational costs.

“I really like the diverse nature of the show and the opportunities it presents from seminars, panel debates and live demonstrations with industry suppliers, alongside the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals. Facilities Show for us remains the most important show in the UK’s FM calendar and it’s great to see how technology has developed to support such an important event with the addition of a dedicated Smart Buildings zone. I’m also interested to learn more about workplace wellbeing – a subject of significant importance for many organisations.

“I’ll be attending the show on Tuesday 18th June and participating in the IWFM panel on the subject of ‘Technology as a Force for Change’ where we will discuss how technology is shaping the FM profession and what is to come in the future. As a software provider we are very interested in emerging technology trends and how this can enable FMs to drive efficiencies. It will be great to see how some of these technologies are being adopted and also have the opportunity to show case our own. I will also be meeting with the SWG team on our stand where I look forward to catching up with some of our valued clients and meeting with potential prospects.

“Whether you are attending with a set goal in mind or just interested to find out more about emerging trends, the show caters for all. The meetings concierge facility also enables visitors to connect with interested suppliers ahead of the show, so they can plan and structure their day to optimise their time at the event. If you would like to arrange a meeting with us at the show you can either do so via the meetings concierge facility or by emailing info@swg.com.”

TOTAL SOLUTIONS GROUP – STAND FM4655
Sharmin Akter, MD comments: “Total Solutions Group provides specialist technical services, supporting both the larger FM companies and end users. We are a small, responsive business and we think outside of the box, turning client problems into solutions. We often support our clients with several services and we’re encouraging people to come and see us on stand FM4655 to discuss how we can help them.

“I really enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of the Facilities Show and meeting a wide range of people from company directors to operatives, from many different companies. It’s great being able to welcome visitors to our stand and to discuss how our solutions can support their needs, as well as being able to visit our customers’ stands.

“There are always interesting seminars at the Facilities Show and my team and I are going to select the ones we would like to attend, so we can plan stand manning around them. I like being able to take half an hour out to be re-energised by new insight and ideas.

“I think the show is a fantastic learning opportunity for visitors and exhibitors, as there are so many services and products being showcased, and there are always interesting innovations. Visitors have the opportunity to meet a range of businesses to find solutions to their problems in a time efficient way, and make valuable new contacts. Innovation is key to Total Solutions Group’s added value approach and so personally I will be looking for new techniques or products which can help us evolve our offer.”
