WPS expands FM footprint with strategic acquisition
WPS has expanded its facilities management (FM) business with the acquisition of Calibre Building Services (CBS) today.
Calibre, a specialist FM provider, brings a wealth of commercial building management expertise and a team of circa 200 to grow the WPS workforce to some 3,400 people nationally.
We’re delighted to welcome Calibre on board as we continue to expand our national footprint, alongside creating strategic agility in what we can offer to our managing agent customers.
“As a trusted FM partner to building managers, they are an ideal fit. We are looking forward to collaborating along our growth journey to do more of what we are both focused on together – delivering the very best for our customers and maintaining places where their building users can thrive.”
Jack Prady
Managing Director of WPS Facilities Management
Calibre Building Services, headquartered in Surrey, operate across the Midlands, South West and the South of England, providing holistic FM services supporting building owners and operators to best manage their properties and estates.
We are excited to take the business forward with WPS and nurture the strong relationships we have built across our valued client base with a team that, like us, is purpose-led, shares our values and is committed to working collaboratively.”
Steve Welch
Co-Managing Director at CBS
The most important thing for us is to preserve the tailored customer care and meticulous delivery that makes Calibre trusted. So, we’re pleased to work with WPS to shape that, while benefitting from their wider backing and expertise to support the business to keep growing for our fantastic teams and customers for years to come.”
Matt Mabey
Co-Managing Director at CBS
Calibre Building Services will continue to trade under its own name as part of WPS, remaining focused on high-quality service delivery for its clients.
