New Business Development Executive welcomed to the
team
Further underpinning our commitment to
investing in the highest quality client relationships, Ian Williams
is delighted to welcome Andrew Shah as our Business
Development Executive in the
Midlands. Andrew’s appointment strengthens our active team who have
already secured £35 million new agreements since the start of
2009. Joining us from another high profile property services
supplier, Andrew brings a wealth of experience in building client
relationships, team direction and orchestrating bids, presentations
and client site visits.
Andrew comments: “I decided to pursue my
career with Ian Williams as I wanted to make a real impact within
the delivery of property services to social landlords. I was
finding it frustrating to be part of a team that promised the earth
in bids for example but didn’t necessarily deliver the goods. I was
also encouraged by the fact that Ian Williams has a rich 60 year
heritage, but is still at the top of its game – no mean feat
considering the tough economic climate.
“My initial perception of Ian Williams is that
it is an organisation that genuinely looks after its staff who are
encouraged to continuously improve and gain recognition when they
do so. Our tagline may be ‘Looking after Buildings’ but people,
whether employees, clients or residents are also very well looked
after. I am particularly excited to have joined an organisation
that offers more direct labour than many other service suppliers
who have to rely on sub contactors. I feel this is a major
differentiator. And just like my football team Aston Villa, I
feel Ian Williams is in a prime position to continue to be
successful well into the future based on long term strategies
rather than quick fixes.”
