Reacting to change, a facilities management approach to delivery of services and projects during a global pandemic webinar

This webinar was held on 6 August 2020. Reacting to change. EMCOR UK manages technically challenging property estates across the UK. You learned how we’re adapting our services in response to the challenges of COVID-19.

Many leading organisations, some with the most demanding and technically challenging property estates in the world, trust EMCOR UK as their facilities management (FM) provider.

Every business is unique, so we make sure that our unwavering commitment to engineering and service excellence achieves measurable results. 

With decades of experience in delivering facilities management at the highest level, and an enviable track record collaborating with customers to achieve high performing, productive, and sustainable workplaces, we are proud to count some of the finest organisations in the world as our customers.

During this pandemic we have had the challenge of managing our own business and workforce, whilst also providing services above and beyond our usual wide range to all our customers. Many of whom have critical roles to play in the fight against the pandemic, whilst others have key roles to play in the recovery phase and the future. 

Looking back over the past four months, we will discuss how the realisation that the longer the lock down, the bigger the lasting change would be. How we have adapted to help our customers in the short term and the future.

Many companies have been grappling with similar problems on their own. As a leading FM provider we’ve been uniquely positioned as a partner to many companies who have benefited from us sharing our wide sector overview. We shall also be sharing this (where we can) with members of APM as we look at the future post Covid-19.
