Businesses urged to take care of their offices

Shropshire businesses could save thousands of pounds a year in repair costs by proactively looking after their offices rather than burying their head in the sand over maintenance.

Mike Penn, director of Optima Facilities Management, urged firms to be proactive and said huge savings were possible through energy efficiencies and waste reduction.

“Prevention is always better than cure,” said Mike, who has more than a decade of experience in the building trade.

“Clearly firms are looking to make cost savings in the current climate but they shouldn’t neglect their surroundings. Keeping on top of repairs and maintenance may seem like simple advice but it’s the key to avoiding bigger bills down the line.”

Optima FM manages all aspects of building and infrastructure to ensure efficient, safe and effective operation.

“While the business is relatively new, we’ve got years of experience in the industry – taking the hassle out of facilities management to allow you to focus on growing and running your business,” Mike explained.

“From ongoing compliance, to maintenance and security through to site cleaning and waste management, our dedicated Shropshire team work with businesses of all sizes and industry sectors to implement cost savings and drive efficiencies.”

Mike said sustainable initiatives were extremely popular with firms looking to back up Net Zero commitments made by local councils.

“We are committed to reducing environmental impact through sustainable facilities management,” he explained. “Our eco-friendly solutions can help your business save energy, reduce waste and lower costs, all while looking after our planet."
