You never get a second chance to make a first impression. At a time when competition is fierce, and customer expectations are continually rising, businesses across all industries are striving to go the extra mile. One surefire way businesses can set themselves apart is by being a friendly, welcoming place for employees and partners to work with.

One sometimes overlooked aspect of customer experience is reception services. As leading facilities management providers, the approach of our people is tailored to the unique nuances of the business and culture in which they work, allowing our clients and our people to deliver unforgettable first impressions.

Trust us with everyday business interactions

Whether it’s at a prestigious event or a permanent base in an office, our front-of-house team members are at the forefront of all interactions. On any working day, they are likely to come across employees, members of the public, external contractors and prospective clients. Our people couple seamless service with a personalised interest and attentiveness to individual needs, helping businesses build trust and loyalty.

First class friendly welcome

One shining example of a bubbly personality with a professional approach to guest services is Katie Barratt, who has been the receptionist on-site at our client, Fluor. For several years, Katie has delivered outstanding customer service that exceeds the expectations of Fluor’s valued guests.

"While a warm, friendly welcome is a fundamental requirement of my role as a receptionist, I also manage multiple interactions to ensure the company's reputation remains positive with employees, international guests and clients.

"This includes, but is not limited to, preparing name badges in advance of visitors, checking all names are spelt correctly and organising corporate catering for event hospitality and business meetings."
