ABM Business & Industry Division Announces New Leadership Structure 
17 February 2025
 

ABM has made changes to its business & industry division’s leadership team.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Campbell Murdoch, ABM Business & Industry has introduced a refined leadership structure.

Lewis Cannell has been promoted to Head of Critical Solutions, to manage ABM’s clients’ data centre infrastructure in light of the government’s recently announced commitment to make the UK a world leader in artificial intelligence, through fast-tracking planning approvals for data centres. ABM’s critical solutions business already maintains 4.5 million square feet of data centre space annually and supports more than 600 large-scale facilities.

David Donovan will manage soft service delivery alongside Tony Hampson, who heads up technical solutions and Commercial Director Nicolas Nothard. Adam Baker has been promoted to Security Director.

Campbell Murdoch said: “It has been an incredible year for the business, but while we’ve achieved significant milestones, this is just the beginning. The new team structure supports our focus on unparalleled service and building the business for the benefit of our customers. By leveraging technology and data-driven solutions, we aim to enhance efficiency, elevate customer experiences, and continue our rapid growth with confidence.

“With customers increasingly looking for multi-service solutions, one of the team’s main focuses will be the development of best-in-class ABM Performance Solution (APS); replacing passive, cost-centred facility management with a strategic model that’s proactive, customised and data-driven.”

Richard Sykes, SVP and President for ABM UK & Ireland added: “ABM’s strength lies in its people. Over the past year, the Business & Industry business has worked to shape a leadership team that will continue to drive meaningful change for our clients. Our 96% retention rate speaks volumes about our service quality, and with this new structure, we are poised to take it even further.
