Cleaning firm Academy Services merges with partner companies to create ServiceFM.

Commercial cleaning firm Academy Services has merged with its partner companies, eSafe (electrical compliance) and Universal FM (facilities maintenance), to create ServiceFM.

The multi-year transformation comes with a growth strategy to drive the organisation to the next level. Internal reporting and business systems have been upgraded, organisational capability improved and a new brand developed.

ServiceFM CEO James Pollock said the transformation was prompted by a desire from clients across the nation for the consolidation of service providers and greater transparency.

“Even before COVID, the market we were working in has been changing. Our clients were seeking fewer suppliers and asking for more services, along with improved data to ensure value-for-money service,” Pollock said.

“With our many years of experience in soft and hard services we decided upon a strategic move to consolidate as one brand, one service company, ServiceFM.

“We have listened to the market, reset our business group as a whole, improved our systems and processes and have identified and clearly defined our growth strategy to take us to the next level and beyond.”

ServiceFM works with facility management companies and other businesses in aged care, commercial corporate, education, government, health care, hospitality, infrastructure, mining and manufacturing, retail, and transport and logistics

Services include asset management, commercial and corporate cleaning, commercial hospitality, electrical compliance, infection control, operational services, security & electrical Services, and workplace management.

“ServiceFM’s motto, Everything’s Connected, reflects how our service offerings will meet our clients’ diverse needs.

“We have the national footprint, service offering and resources of a large provider, and also a personalised, localised approach where we listen to client needs and co-design solutions,” Pollock said.

“We encourage clients to tell us what their FM needs are, and we’ll find a way to serve them.”
