| A successful employee
buy-out of North Somerset Council’s direct service organisation
created Quadron. It has been a successful private company since
1993 and has its head office in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
Quadron’s focus is firmly on its core business
activities of property and grounds maintenance but it has introduced
new, relevant growth areas in the private and retail sectors.
The
resulting broad base of disciplines and geographic spread has led
to a substantial increase in turnover with many contract stretching
far into the future.
The company now has regional offices in Bristol,
Caerphilly, Farnham, Newton Abbot and London. It employs nearly 1000
people and has a 24 hour call centre.
The transition from public to private sector gives
the company a unique perspective. There is a good balance between
our in-depth local authority knowledge and entrepreneurial and commercial
understanding. We know what it’s like from the client’s
point of view.
The company had a major restructure in 2002 moving
the management from a geographical to a more functionally based
arrangement. This provides more specialist knowledge in our four
key areas. |
