ISS UK & Ireland has appointed Martin Wilson as Managing Director of its Key Account Network (KAN).
KAN provides a range of FM services, including cleaning, maintenance and technical services nationwide, via a team of 3,500 colleagues, to more than 4,000 client sites across the UK and Ireland.
In his new role, Wilson will be instrumental in the delivery of the KAN transformation programme, which aims to strengthen the network’s product offering, attract new talent, and build its reputation within ISS UK&I, and with its impressive client roster.
Wilson joined ISS in February 2023 to lead a review of KAN and help the business meet the new challenge of growth in a post-pandemic context. Prior to joining ISS, he held senior property roles in the Banking and Retail sectors, responsible for global and domestic property portfolios and the full range of FM service lines.
Speaking about his new appointment, Wilson said: “I am delighted to bring my 35 years of experience in the facilities management industry into this role. I am joining ISS at an exciting time as it brings to bear the value of OneISS to our Placemakers and Clients. I look forward to meeting Clients and Placemakers as we transform Key Account Network to become an even stronger strategic asset for ISS and our Clients.”
Andrew Wilkinson, Chief Operations Officer for Office & Production, said: “Our Key Account Network has the potential to transform the way we support our clients and respond to their evolving needs in a fast-paced commercial and operating environment. I am delighted to be welcoming an executive of Martin’s calibre to our leadership team, and look forward to seeing him deliver the recommendations of his review for the benefit of our colleagues, our clients and their customers.”
Damon Cooper, formerly Interim Managing Director in KAN, will take on a critical new role and challenge as Technical Performance Director in ISS UK&I’s Government, Health and Education business unit.
