One of the world’s largest privately owned FM companies
City has accumulated a wealth of experience serving a variety of sectors -- oil and gas, healthcare, leisure and hospitality, retail, wholesale, commercial property and construction. At the same time, we’re also relentlessly focused on developing and shaping the future of FM, harnessing the power of innovation, technology and data to inform every step of our work.
With consumer-focused people at the centre
The City Group employs over 14,000 highly qualified staff to deliver exceptional service, every time. All over the world, we help improve every aspect of customers’ lives--in supermarkets, offices and more. Equipped through frequent training opportunities, we are constantly building on their skills and continuing to exceed expectations. It is through their outstanding delivery that City drives efficiency and assurance even in the face of rapid change.
Taking action together
City FM is committed to being a net-zero carbon business by 2040. We're doing this by transitioning 50% of our fleet to electrical vehicles and reducing our own buildings carbon footprint by 50% by 2025. And as active, engaged members of the Supply Chain Sustainability Council, the work has already begun.

Our Companies
City Facilities Management Ltd
Providing multi-site FM services to some of Britain's best brands
City FM's model is built around self-delivery. The company's expertly trained technicians cover all aspects of refrigeration, electrical and building fabric maintenance. Unique to City's model is our ability to multi-skill our technicians by training them in additional disciplines such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), fire safety, and food equipment maintenance. This reduces the need for additional contractors and the number of site visits, ultimately saving our clients’ money.
