Facilities Management Business Rewards Education

Doncaster based Facilities Management Company, UM Facilities Ltd (UMF) have launched a new scheme to reward vouchers and equipment to schools around South Yorkshire.

The new scheme called BEVS (Building Education Vouchers) has been set up by UM Facilities to reward schools when they spend money with their company. UMF are primarily devoted to the maintenance and care of commercial or institutional buildings which includes office complexes, hospitals and schools.

In reward for using the services UMF has to offer, they will produce a BEVS that the establishment can ‘cash’ in against items. The vouchers can be used for such items as sports equipment, books, computers and other specific learning materials. UMF also ask participating schools if they would like to put together a ‘Santa Clause Wish List’. The school can write a list of equipment that they need or would like and UMF will let them know how many BEVS it will take to obtain those particular items.

Another caring arm to the UMF body is what they do with the schools old football kits. If the school requests a new football kit, UMF will ask for the old kit and send to Africa through a charity set up by the RAF called ‘Taking football to Africa and beyond’. This particular charity provides football equipment to countries that are not as financially fortunate as our own.

The BEVS system was set up by UMF Managing Director, Dominic Gibbs.
“With UMF providing a service to the educational sector and this particular sector paying for a service, we wanted to give back a reward to say thanks. Our job is quite rewarding in itself; to start with we are responsible for the maintenance and repairs to the school. This is a key component to a school that wants to provide an excellent educational service to its pupils. We just wanted the chance to give that extra something back to the school and really help in any way we can” Dominic explained.

“We are also extremely happy to be involved with the RAF charity ‘Taking Football to Africa and beyond’ and are thankful to the schools for providing us with the old kits, they really are going to a good cause. As well as providing football kits to schools we can provide vouchers for all kinds of equipment and educational materials” added Dominic.
