Atlas’s successful acquisition of the Tudor Group has led to a year of seamless integration, learning, and adaptation. This successful transition, achieved through a strong focus on collaboration, reinforces our shared commitment to excellence in service delivery. The goal has been to preserve each organisation’s strengths while unlocking new opportunities for growth and innovation, a process that has been successfully achieved.
Here, we take a closer look at how some of the businesses have merged over the past year.
Transition & Integration
Atlas has prioritised a smooth and respectful integration process, ensuring Tudor’s well-established culture and values remain intact while aligning with Atlas’ broader vision. A key challenge has been harmonising operational functions, such as payroll systems, accounting practices, and daily cleaning operations, to enhance efficiency without disrupting existing workflows.
Regular meetings and strategic planning sessions have been crucial in aligning business practices. Both teams have worked closely to ensure that the transition remains efficient, focused on long-term stability, and continues to provide excellent service to clients.
Enhancing performance & efficiency
One of the key highlights of this transition has been the efficiency and professionalism of the Tudor Group’s teams. During a visit to Cardiff, Malcolm Harris, Director of Stories at Atlas, was particularly impressed by the seamless operations during a post-concert clean-up at the Principality Stadium, adding:
“Following a Billy Joel concert, it was something to behold—this entire machine coming to life and executing a seamless operation. A considerable amount of rubbish was left behind on the pitch, but the team sprang into action, cleaning up the venue in preparation for the next event.”
“The team, led by Robin Kinrade (Director at AQS), operates like a well-oiled machine, whether managing stadium clean-ups, educational facilities, or large-scale events.”
Their ability to swiftly and effectively clear vast spaces underscores the expertise and dedication that Tudor Group brings to Atlas, setting a benchmark for operational excellence. In addition, their proactive approach to managing logistics and adapting to unique client needs has strengthened Atlas’ service offerings.
Strength in teamwork
The Tudor Group’s success is driven by its people. Malcolm Harris had the opportunity to connect with dedicated team members who embody the organisation’s values and deliver the high-quality work for which the Tudor Group has become known.
The team plays a vital role in an event’s overall success. John Holly, a key figure in maintaining operations at Glamorgan Cricket Ground, demonstrates adaptability and expertise, ensuring events run smoothly. His friendly, personable approach during cricket matches is evident throughout.
Julie Chamberlain, a Solutions FM (Part of the Tudor Group) cleaner at Brunel House, a landmark office in Cardiff, exemplifies professionalism and commitment.
The Solutions FM team, has played a pivotal role in delivering exceptional facility management services. Their proactive approach and ability to address client concerns have made them integral to the Tudor Group’s continued success, instilling confidence in their service delivery.
By fostering a collaborative team environment and investing in employee development, Tudor Group continues to build a resilient, innovative workforce committed to excellence and supporting the Atlas Group’s goals and ambitions.
Best practices & continuous improvement
Tudor’s expertise in daily cleaning, event cleaning, window cleaning, student accommodation maintenance, and customer relationship management has provided Atlas with invaluable insights.
Atlas has also strongly emphasised sustainability, implementing environmentally friendly practices across operational functions.
Looking ahead, this collaboration will continue to evolve, reinforcing Atlas’ commitment to respectful and gradual integration. Malcolm adds:
“We are excited about the future partnerships and acquisitions that will benefit from the lessons learned—namely, the importance of patience, adaptability, and recognising the strengths of acquired teams.”
These future ventures will further enhance our service offerings and strengthen our position in the market. Adam Parker, Business Development Director at Tudor Group, comments:
“Our collaboration over the past year has been highly productive, and we are excited to see the ongoing development and strengthening of the merger between Atlas and Tudor Group.
“Our priority is to deliver the highest quality service to our clients, and we firmly believe that by working more closely together, we will continue to create significant value for them in the future.”
As both organisations continue to integrate and evolve, the focus remains on excellence and delivering superior client service. By leveraging each other’s strengths and sharing knowledge, Tudor Group and Atlas are well-positioned for continued success in the years to come.
