Following its well-deserved success in the African Excellence Awards 2020, we got in touchwith Damilola Laleye to find out more about one of the best facilities management companies inNigeria. Sustainable Business Goals Based in Lagos, Green Facilities Ltd focus on enabling individuals and organisations to achieve their overall goals through the provision of sustainable facilities management services and customer satisfaction. Going into further detail, Damilola provides a brief overview of the firm and offers more insight into its clientele. “To support corporate organisations and private investors, we pride ourselves on the delivery of high-quality professional services while ensuring of a minimum total life cycle cost of the asset to the owner. For on-site facilities management, we specialise in the maintenance and management of hard and soft services including electrical, mechanical civil infrastructure, landscaping, and support services. “From inception to completion, our project management service involves the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project. Typically, our services are tailored to the size and complexity of any project and a corporate commitment to total quality management further aids our clients. In addition to real estate development consultancy, our other areas of expertise include facility audits, facilities management training, procurement management, alternative and renewable power solutions, building repairs and maintenance, utility maintenance & management and waste management & cleaning.” As a technology driven facilities management company, Green Facilities are committed to innovation but as Damilola points out, it’s the firm’s client approach which has had the most telling impact. “A customer-driven approach has certainly helped us provide comfort, safety and security on all our facilities. In fact, many of the testimonials we have received include comments on our reliability and ability to closely work with clients until the end result has been achieved.” At the head of Green Facilities is Olumide Aina and as Damilola explains further, his background in facilities management has helped him become the influential industry business leader he is today. “Prior to becoming CEO, Olumide achieved a BSc in mechanical engineering, a Masters in facilities management from the University of Lagos, and a Masters in project management from the University of Roehampton. Studying for these qualifications gave him an insight into the industry, and without his experiences Green Facilities wouldn’t find themselves in the position they are in today.” Finally, Damilola comments on the firm’s future prospects as we look ahead to 2021 and beyond. “Moving forward, our focus will be on maintaining our industry reputation while hopefully adding more companies to our existing client base.” Company: Green Facilities Ltd Contact: Damilola Laleye Web: www.greenfacilitiesltd.com
