Arcus FM was previously the facilities management business of Sainsbury鈥檚 supermarkets. It was spun out in February 2020 as a standalone business with backing from ESO Capital Partners.
BEMS specialises in real-time technology controls services, making sure a building operates at maximum levels of efficiency while removing wasted energy usage and costs. Its acquisition enables Arcus FM to offer a fuller building and energy management consultancy service.
BEMS managing director (and former-co-owner) Matthew Graham said: 鈥淭he acquisition is an important milestone for BEMS and testament to the team. I鈥檓 excited about the development and growth potential this creates for the business and I鈥檓 very much looking forward to joining forces with Arcus.鈥�
Arcus chief executive Chris Green said: 鈥淎ccelerated innovation across areas such as IoT (internet of things) is transforming our working world and in turn drives new requirements from our clients and expectations of their FM providers.
鈥淭echnology has been the driving force in creating our in-house remote monitoring platform, Helix, which provides an overview of clients鈥� estates. BEMS鈥� complementary skills in the control technology arena means that any new technologies installed alongside the legacy equipment will be supported, giving our teams clear sight of real-time asset performance.
鈥淏y aligning and integrating our capabilities we believe that we鈥檙e one of the first businesses to be able to break the closed protocol deadlock, providing full read/write functionality. We are excited to welcome aboard BEMS and we believe that our combined use of technology will be a real game-changer in the way we operate.鈥�
