Integrated property services company The Momentum Group which operates in the North West of England has appointed Matthew Pilling as Facilities Management Director.
Pilling joins the company from GeoBear Global where he was managing director for Residential.
He has previously held roles at BNP Paribas, Incentive FM, Cloudfm and at Engie where he led on the US Airforce FM contract for all nine of their UK bases and at Capita where he headed up its portfolio of more than 250 London properties.
In his new role, he will support Momentum's strategic five-year growth plan which includes implementing sustainable facilities management practices and applying technology and best practices to maximise operating efficiency.
Momentum co-founder and director, Chris Bliss, says: “Matthew is innovative, dynamic and passionate about his industry.
As well as a significant track record, Matthew brings a fresh perspective, having expertise in both driving business growth and working with large commercial clients.
Matthew is a key appointment as we continue to evolve our FM business and build upon a period of sustained growth.
Pilling adds: “The Momentum Group has huge growth potential, and I am looking forward to applying my experience and knowledge to deliver the company’s vision.
The group is a unique set up in that it offers multiple services, advisory, build and property management alongside FM, and this is an exciting opportunity to grow the FM division such that it makes a significant contribution to the group as a whole.”
Momentum's facilities management portfolio includes Runcorn Shopping City which is the town’s main retail destination, and landmark buildings in Liverpool including The Keel, The Princes Building and Glenbrook’s One Temple Square, and for Yakel Property Investment, the Grade I listed Oriel Chambers, the Grade A office building Aviation House and Bramley House in Guildford, Surrey.
The group reports a period of expansion which has seen its team and office space more than double in the last year.
In addition to its Advise, Build, Manage and Maintain businesses, Momentum has recently launched 'Momentum Contribute' under the leadership of former Facilities Management Director and Associate Director, Karl Clawley who Pilling succeeds, to oversee CSR initiatives and the activities of a dedicated Foundation.
