Client Side Organisations in Facilities Management
End User / Client Side Organisations
While a number of companies use specialist service providers to outsource facility management, some prefer to keep these roles in-house. Maxwell Stephens have worked with a variety of client-side or end user organisations to find and place the right facility managers within their companies.
Working client-side is appealing for a number of reasons: it offers more internal support, you feel more a part of the company culture and you may even have the chance to manage the service provider partnerships. It does require flexibility, diplomacy, budget management skills and patience with internal processes, but for the right person, it can provide some incredible opportunities for a fulfilling career.
Here’s a look at some of the clients we have worked with.
