Alex Davies, Managing Director, Emrill, attributed the record results to, among other things, the company’s ‘Value Partnerships’ model which has gained traction this year and is paying dividends to all stakeholders, including end-users. “Essentially we view clients as partners where there’s a shared responsibility for strategic business outcomes,” he said.
Renewals totalling US$ 68mn resulted from a range of existing commercial contracts including DC Aviation Al Futtaim at DWC, Dubai Airport – Terminal 3 and Anantara Hotel Resorts and Spas.
“Although we are observing some price pressure in certain market segments, overall client feedback is that service quality and FM innovation and sustainability initiatives are still important factors when selecting FM providers,” noted Sally Harrison, Head of Work Winning and Business Development at Emrill.
