Signum Scales To New Heights With New Certex Partnership

We’re excited to announce that we’re now working with heavy lifting solutions group Certex after being appointed as facilities management provider for its Doncaster headquarters.

Here, divisional manager, Patrick Cummins, shares how Signum has been supporting the company in this new partnership.

At Certex, we provide steel wire rope, lifting equipment and services to customers in the industrial, oil and gas, renewable and elevator markets. We have sites across the UK, including in Doncaster where I am based.

We’ve used facilities management companies in the past but not always got the results we were looking for so I was keen to find a local organisation who could be responsive and deliver what we needed.

After a quick search we came across Signum and were pleased with their approach and costings so appointed them earlier this year to deliver full reactive and planned maintenance such as legionella checks, fire alarm checks, building inspection, emergency lighting checks, heating and boiler inspections and lift inspections.

We’ve been really impressed so far, and Signum has worked on installing a new kitchen, dealing quickly with a leak and problems with sliding doors, and the tidying up of electrical cables. The whole team is friendly, courteous and professional.

I am busy with my day job so don’t have the time to deal with building issues that can crop up but with one call to Signum, it’s sorted. It is a service that saves a lot of time and we’ve been very happy with the transition and work done so far.

Signum are easy to deal with and use an online portal for all work that Certex needs, so the process is streamlined and definitely working how it should be.
