Facilities management firm leads winners at regional Chamber awards

Sutton Coldfield-based facilities management firm, 3D Facilities Support Ltd, has been named Large Business of the Year at the Royal Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield & Tamworth, and Cannock Chase Chambers of Commerce awards.

The company, which specialises in engineering solutions and facilities management for domestic, commercial, and industrial buildings, exceeded all growth targets over the past 12 months.

The awards ceremony took place at The Belfry Hotel & Resort and was supported by headline sponsors Amazon and South Staffordshire College.

Broadcasting legend Nick Owen MBE hosted the event, which recognised eight category winners in total.

The judging panel featured Emily Berridge (Browne Jacobson), Louise Dunn (The Recruitment Duo), Kevin Johns (Prime Accountants Group), Rohit Parmar-Mistry (Pattrn Data), Sana Saddique (Collective Law Solicitors), and chair, Asian Business Chamber of Commerce director Anjum Khan.

3D Facilities Support Ltd impressed judges with its significant achievements, including surpassing £2 million in FM contract bases within a year and maintaining high client retention, supported by internal surveys scoring four or five for customer satisfaction.

The firm was also praised for its charitable initiatives, which include sponsoring four local sports teams, supporting Birmingham Acorns, Birmingham Hospice, and the Sutton Coldfield Cancer Support Centre.

Notably, they installed a new air conditioning unit free of charge in the Cancer Support Centre’s treatment therapy rooms.

In addition, the company raised £6,078.73, including gift aid, for Birmingham Children’s Hospital’s ‘It Starts Here’ appeal, with staff participating in the North Wales Zip Wire Challenge in September 2024.

Anjum Kham said: “On behalf of the judging panel, I’d like to congratulate 3D Facilities Support Ltd on winning this year’s Large Business of the Year award.

“3D Facilities Support Ltd’s commitment to exceeding growth targets, fostering client satisfaction, and giving back to the community truly stood out.

“We were particularly impressed with the firm’s dedication to charitable work, including their support for local charities and sports teams, as well as their generosity in providing free-of-charge services to organisations in need.

“Winning this award is a tremendous achievement, and we are excited to see 3D Facilities Support Ltd continue to thrive and make an impact in the years ahead.”

Meanwhile, Abbey Ricketts from Adams Moore Accountants and Business Advisors bagged the SLTC Young Professional of the Year award.

Abbey has been instrumental in the firm’s turnover increase, working with the two remaining Partners to fill the gap of the sudden death of founding partner Neil Lancaster. She now is Partner to over 300 local business, including chamber members Embello and Arc Media - two of her latest clients.

Abbey has been hailed by her coworkers for her work ethic and the ability to communicate effectively with clients with a humble, down to earth attitude.
