“The focus is on the right individual, with the right calibre and with the right seniority/experience – we are building a professional FM services team that needs to be watertight focussing on compliance, process and service delivery. The environment is a very diverse & dynamic Media agency and so this approach to FM & HSE needs to be embedded, while operating under the ‘skin’ of the business but importantly without changing the dynamic nature of our business or stifling creativity… 
The role is to lead H&S and Environmental for our Head Office (2 sites opposite each other comprising circa 200,000 sqft.) We are focussing on bringing the service delivery model up to a professional standard and need a strong charismatic individual with great personal skills but an aptitude on how to manage things properly, efficiently, compliantly and in a robust manner.
