Q4 2024

SME News Q4 2024 / 20 First-Class Facilities Management Across the UK Recognised as the Best In-House Repairs and Maintenance Services Company 2024 - West Midlands, it is no surprise that Solihull’s Airwaves Facilities Management Ltd serves as a total facilities management partner for the businesses of its clients. Working across the commercial, industrial, healthcare, hospitality, education, and residential sectors, the services provided by the team here range from grounds and reactive maintenance through to specialist cleaning, making them the go-to providers for facility efficiency and functionality enhancement. Whether it is cleaning windows, maintaining grounds, or conducting planned or emergency maintenance services, Airwaves Facilities Management remains as transparent as possible with its clients, and is subsequently well on the way to building a reputation for itself as one of the best property maintenance companies in the UK. Having grown considerably since opening its doors back in 2017, the high standards embodied by the company mean that it can now call the likes of Gymshark and West Midlands Police clients. The result is that the company has carried out a number of rewarding projects over the past 12 months alone, from undertaking a redecoration and repair job at Stagecoach in Oxford to removing the glazing at a Levi’s store in Birmingham’s Bullring after the unit failed at the front of the store. A similar level of success has had been experienced across all of the company’s divisions, with the ground maintenance, window cleaning, and general cleaning teams all hitting big contract milestones in 2024. Following on from this, Airwaves Facilities Management has been able to evolve significantly over the same period and has even added new services to its portfolio. Its dedicated team now carry out an even wider range of soft and hard services as part of the company’s comprehensive property management commitment, ranging from simply mowing a lawn to constructing new property. These new possibilities have resulted in the team more than doubling in size, and the work that is being done as a result is better than ever. Airwaves Facilities Management’s success in this sphere is made all the more impressive given that many larger companies offering services of this nature have gone into administration over the past few years, largely as a result of the continued fallout from the pandemic and the subsequent cost-of-living crisis. Determined not to suffer the same fate, this company has adopted robust new vetting measures across every element of its operation, from clients and contractors to the suppliers it uses, to ensure it can continue to thrive. As Director Daniel Povey tells us: “The aim after COVID was to make sure that if anything similar happened again, we would be more prepared, as this was something we had never experienced before. Our longterm goal now is to grow again, but also to make sure our core values stay the same and that our teams are engaged.” As for how this growth will be achieved, Airwaves Facilities Management is keen to embrace technology and change, well aware that blindly following ‘tradition’ can be detrimental to a business’ future. With more than 15 years of experience in the world of maintenance, Daniel has picked up more than a thing or two about how to run a successful business in this setting. At the heart of Daniel’s leadership approach is not asking his team to do anything that he wouldn’t, and it is with this clear ethos in tow that he has been able to build a team of like-minded people whose aspirations align with the long-term goals of the business. “Always go with your gut instinct,” explains Daniel, “and let your people try out their ideas and enjoy the journey.” On the back of such a solid foundation and an exemplary team, the future is incredibly bright for Airwaves Facilities Management, and it has a number of upcoming projects in the works. Although these must remain under wraps for the time being, Daniel’s excitement for them means that something truly special must be in store, which is unsurprising given the dedication embodied by his team to exceeding service standards and KPIs at every turn, continuously fortifying the company’s frontrunner reputation in the process. As this well-deserved title suggests, Airwaves Facilities Management Ltd is a beacon of excellence when it comes to property maintenance and facilities management in the West Midlands region and far beyond. We wish Daniel and the team all the best in whatever comes next and urge those interested in these services to follow the link below.
