ABM UK

At ABM, we are committed to creating positive interactions at every passenger touchpoint in the airport; from carpark to the boarding gate. This includes: ➡ Keeping high-volume airports clean and safe ➡ Ground handling services ➡ Supporting passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) However, to deliver service consistency across the entire airport operation, collaboration is key. When all aviation stakeholders work together, the passenger experience is enhanced, which defines success in the aviation industry. As ABM prepares to launch a UK-wide Quality Assurance Programme for its Assisted Travel services, focused on auditing trainers and evaluating the effectiveness of materials, collaboration will be more critical than ever. By aligning our efforts and sharing best practices, we can ensure that training standards remain high and consistent across the board.

As part of our '30 seconds with' series, we sat down with Bernie Stenson, Training Officer, ABM Ireland.

ABM's Junior Engineering Engagement Programme (J.E.E.P) is a social mobility programme aimed at introducing young people to the opportunities which a career in the FM sector offers. Since its launch, and in partnership with The Talent Foundry, the programme has reached 722 students, the majority of whom are girls, and all of whom attend schools in areas of high deprivation. We are proud to support young people and help to: ➡ increase their awareness and understanding of STEM careers ➡ open up opportunities to them in the facilities management sector ➡ foster confidence in their essential and workplace skills ➡ increase their awareness of apprenticeships Here's what our past volunteers, students and teachers have said. #Apprenticeships #STEM #STEMCareers

And that's a wrap! Over the past few weeks, our senior leadership team has visited five cities, connecting with hundreds of team members and engaging them in ABM's strategic growth plan. Along the way, we proudly presented 45 awards to recognise the outstanding achievements of our people. This tour is just the beginning, leading up to our highly anticipated annual One ABM Conference next month—an exciting event on the ABM UK&I calendar. A huge thank you to everyone at ABM who helped organise these events, and a special thanks to all of you — our dedicated team members — for your hard work and commitment to making a difference.

This week, Donna Platt from our AVI team joined the world’s first Global Disability ERG/Network Summit. The summit was launched by PurpleSpace, a professional development hub for disability network leaders. ABM is a Founding Strategic Partner of PurpleSpace, committed to creating inclusive and safe spaces for its team members and for its clients’ staff and customers. One of the initiatives ABM has introduced is a Pan-Disability Team Member Forum, where its network of disabled team members work alongside identified champions across the business. The Summit highlighted that businesses and role models need to drive empowerment to make inclusivity impactful both in the workplace and for customers. At ABM, we are committed to creating safe spaces and groups for our team members to share experiences, which also helps us to gain a greater understanding of the needs of our PRM guests and passengers who have similar disabilities. Well done to everyone involved in hosting such a fantastic event and thank you to all of the speakers. #PRM #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityAtWork #PurpleSpaceSummit
