Specialist reactive soft services provider, SafeGroup, has appointed former OCS Group Chief Executive Officer, Martin Gammon, as its Non-Executive Chairman.
Gammon will be providing strategic business guidance for SafeGroup as it grows its portfolio of services which include specialist cleaning, emergency waste removal, pest proofing and control, and legionella prevention. He has previously held senior director roles for more than 35 years, and was CEO of OCS for five years until 2014.
SafeGroup Managing Director, Steve Broughton, said: “Martin has built his own businesses and he has run one of the largest facilities management companies in the UK. His expertise, both entrepreneurial and corporate, is a perfect fit for us.
“We want to waste no time in growing SafeGroup, so we can deliver our unique mix of services to more of the biggest and best businesses in the UK. Martin is already playing a key role in helping us realise that ambition.”
Gammon added: “Providing a truly agile and responsive reactive FM service is very hard to do, but SafeGroup, through its four divisions, is achieving just that. Its services are entrepreneurial and driven by a strong can-do ethos which allows them to deliver what others can’t.
“The growth in demand for total FM solutions, at a time when consolidation and cost control in the FM sector is driving a process of standardisation of service delivery, is opening up strong niches where specialist providers can thrive, and SafeGroup is one of them.”
