Sewell Facilities Management’s Operations Team has won ‘Team of the Year’ in the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management Impact Awards, after being chosen as the best team in the industry by a panel of 50 independent judges.
Sewell Facilities Management is a Hull-based company offering facilities management services across the North of England, with a specialism in managing buildings across the education, health, community and workspace sectors. Providing hands-on support 24/7, 365 days a year, they pride themselves on the relationships they build with their customers, getting to know both their customers’ buildings and their people, and developing a bespoke service tailored to their individual needs.
Sewell Facilities Management MD Sean Henderson said: “I’m so proud of the hard work each and every member of the team has put in over the past year, and I’m delighted to see their dedication and willingness to go the extra mile has been recognised on a national stage.
“Although the team has achieved some fantastic results in 2024, they’re still determined to continue in their mission of moving from good to great. There are already plans underway to add to the team with another graduate, grow our existing offer of in-house services, and deliver further on our own carbon reduction plan, as well as helping our clients with their transition to net zero.”
A diverse team at different stages of their careers, the Operations Team are key account holders for the company’s clients, with their aims being to wow their customers with their problem solving skills, keep all the facilities they manage in day one condition, and ensure they provide first-time fixes wherever possible.
Notable successes for the team in the last year have included creating a new packaged water hygiene service to offer customers, becoming qualified drone pilots to carry out aerial surveying and over-performing against sustainability targets. The team also began working with a new client, ensuring staff at 17 schools across the North of England had a seamless transition to the company’s facilities management services.
IWFM Chair Mark Whittaker said: “The IWFM Impact Awards recognise and celebrate our profession’s work, namely the outstanding professionals who push our sector forward to achieve excellence and recognition for the critical services we provide.”
