“His extensive experience of delivering excellence in the FM sector and his reputation for driving business growth are a perfect match.”
Part of what attracted me to 14forty was the huge potential we have as part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, which has such a significant footprint in this industry, a long history in hospitality and a leading reputation in the social value space, too.
Collett, who will report into Morag and join the B&I leadership team, says: “It’s an exciting time in the FM market right now, and we see many opportunities for growth.
