Leading UAE-based facilities management company Emrill has launched its new company, Emrill Consultancy (Emco) to further expand its offering in the UAE and GCC’s facilities management, construction and property sectors. 

 

Powered by Emrill, the Dubai-based Emco will provide facilities management consultancy services across the entire lifecycle of a property/development, from design review in the pre-construction phase of a project to asset handover and condition surveys.

 

Serving a diverse range of sectors including residential, commercial, retail, healthcare, hospitality, leisure and entertainment, government and education, Emco will provide innovative and smart solutions to all types of business and buildings. 

 

The company aims to unlock operational excellence and financial returns across real estate portfolios by providing a comprehensive suite of consultancy resources for all aspects of facilities management services and day-to-day operational facilities management needs.

 

On the new venture, Emrill’s CEO Stuart Harrison said: "The Emco team comprises some of the most experienced and respected managers in construction and facilities management, which puts us in a unique position to offer practical solutions that will help property developers and managers make their buildings great through the delivery of world-class consultancy."

 

To lead the newly established venture, it has signed up Bill Heath, an industry veteran as the general manager. 

 

"Heath brings a great deal of experience to Emco. He has over 40 years’ experience in the property and construction sectors and has worked at senior levels with a strategic and entrepreneurial approach. He has a proven track record in delivering consultancy-led facilities management and actively educating clients about the benefits of utilising well-planned facilities management activities to meet their business goals," he noted. 

 

Prior to this, Heath was instrumental in the establishment and successful day-to-day operations of several high-profile facilities management companies. 

 

While at Mace Group from 2002 to 2017, he was tasked with establishing the company’s facilities management business Mace Macro in the UK and achieved significant financial growth. 

 

In 2013, Heath was appointed chairman of Macro Group and the managing director of Macro International in the Middle East. Under his leadership, the company grew exponentially, employing over 850 people and operating in 44 countries.

 

At Emco, Heath will be responsible for delivering bespoke pre-contract, post-contract, strategic planning and operational facilities management consultancy services to clients within the UAE and wider GCC. 

 

He has been tasked with growing operations throughout the emirates and solving clients’ complex building asset challenges through the provision of high-quality advisory services that meet international best practices.-TradeArabia News Service
