Looking to learn more about this space.  What are the pros and cons?  How to compete against the giants like Aramark, Sodexo, etc.  Thank you!

On this note, interested in potential deal opportunities in the facilities management space, preferably located in Western Europe. If you aware of any businesses for sale please let me know, Thanks

Hi Conrad - I have a bit of experience in this space, going up against those very companies. To put it simply, it will all come down to your USP. You can differentiate yourself on any number of characteristics (size, product, demographic geography, etc). One specific advantage that comes to mind is the M/WBE procurment requirements that many cities have in place. One clarification - facilities management became a natural extension of both Aramark's and Sodexo's business, their primary area being foodservice contracting. Were you looking at facility management only, or foodservice as well?
