Wates FM is set to continue delivering work on behalf of mass media company, Discovery Communications.

The business, which forms part of Wates Property Services alongside the Group's Living Space company, will look to extend its existing three-year contract with Discovery Communications for an additional year.

Under the contract, Wates FM will provide 24/7 critical engineering cover and fabric maintenance for two locations in Chiswick, including the organisation's live broadcast premises.

The extension looks set to be granted due to team resilience, the application of innovation and continued excellence in fabric service.


James Gregg, Managing Director of Wates FM, commented: "Since launching as Wates FM in June last year we have sustained a steady path of expansion, a balance of growth with our core client base and our emergence in new sectors in both the private and public sectors.

"Our contract extension with Discovery Communications, is a huge testament to the expertise of our team and our position as a trusted and reliable FM partner to our clients.

"Wates FM is heading into 2020 with a very healthy work pipeline but of course our growth must be steady and sustainable to ensure that we continue to deliver exceptional services to our clients, both existing and new."

Wates FM currently manages over 350 commercial properties, delivering services including statutory compliance, cleaning, security, catering, porterage, front-of-house, help desks and computer-aided facilities management (CAFM), as well as mechanical and electrical and building fabric maintenance through a mix of site based and mobile teams.
