1 Independent Thinking for Facilities Management

2 It was refreshing to work with an organisation that really understood our needs and challenges and were able to recommend really practical strategies which allowed us to both improve our service and reduce costs. Steve Gill Director of Visitor and Building Services The British Museum

3 As independent FM advisors we provide tailored expert advice to the private, public and third sectors to support them in the pursuit of excellence in FM. Our comprehensive range of services and experience ensure we identify improvement opportunities, support change implementation and leave a legacy of FM excellence.

4 Case Study Client: Project value: Services provided: Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer c 900,000 per annum representing a 20% saving FM Strategic Review and Procurement Scope: We undertook a strategic FM review for Freshfields, looking at their Hard FM and Minor Projects. They were using a mixed operating economy of outsourced and in-house maintenance teams providing Hard FM and small project works to the central London office campus of 42,455 m², comprising two main and three satellite properties. The project was carried out in two phases which began with benchmarking of the current service delivery model and costs, developing alternative options for consideration and identifying the scale of any potential savings. In the second phase we helped with the procurement of a new service provider and supported them through the mobilisation of the new contract. The results were a 20% saving on costs whilst maintaining a 24/7 FM presence with a streamlined team structure. "Many thanks to you and the G&T team for the excellent work in relation to our recent M&E tender exercise.your diligent approach made the whole process not only far less painful but also resulted in significant service improvement initiatives and cost saving." James Small Premises Manager Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

We help to ensure our clients FM operations: Effectively manage the risks to their business Are aligned to core business requirements Demonstrate value for money Incorporate best practices Our comprehensive services and experience ensure we: Identify improvement opportunities Support change implementation Leave a legacy of FM excellence

7 Case Study Client: Services provided: BAE Systems FM Procurement Scope: BAE Systems Workplace Services deliver FM services to five internal clients within BAE across 30 UK sites. Their existing Hard Services FM contract lacked clarity around scope and performance requirements. We worked with Workplace Services to review the existing contract and identify opportunities for improvement. We developed best practice Hard FM procurement documentation against which to negotiate improvements with the incumbent Hard FM provider and worked to refocus the contract on service quality and continuous improvement. An incentivised performance and payment mechanism was also introduced. The result is a refreshed Hard FM contract, with improved commercial terms and service delivery. "With the help of GTFM we now have a clear and innovative specification and contract that focuses resources in the right areas and improves the service experiences of our customers." Craig Lucas New Business & Integration Manager BAE Systems, Workplace Services
