Andron Facilities Management

What Andron Facilities Management does

Andron Facilities Management is a privately held, third-generation family-owned UK provider of soft facilities management services, founded in Aberdeen in 1980 by Ron Stewart Snr and Ron Stewart Jnr. The company delivers commercial cleaning, security personnel, support services (waste, pest control), and reception/front-of-house services to more than 1,000 sites across the United Kingdom through four regional offices (Aberdeen HQ, London, Glasgow, Warrington), supported by a directly employed workforce of over 2,600.

The core service mix is anchored in commercial cleaning — including daily office cleaning, periodic deep cleaning, window cleaning and washroom services — with security and support services typically bundled into multi-year contracts. Technology is deployed at the service-delivery layer rather than as a standalone product: occupancy sensors feed data-led, on-demand cleaning models that can reduce client cleaning costs by up to 20%; cobotics handle routine floor cleaning to redeploy operatives to higher-value tasks; and a Clientshare Pulse system provides real-time client feedback. Operations are differentiated by an ESG-led proposition (91% of contracts on Real Living Wage, Planet Mark Net Zero commitment, CDP B score) which is increasingly used as a procurement criterion in enterprise and public sector tenders.

Revenue is generated through recurring managed-service contracts, priced on a quote basis per site and scope, typically on annual billing cycles with multi-year terms. The go-to-market is enterprise sales-led with a dedicated account management motion across commercial offices, shopping centres, manufacturing and distribution, managing agents and property owners, retail banking, and public sector. Customer retention is reported at 99% in 2025, with named anchor relationships including JLL, CBRE, Colliers, The Crown Estate, Silverburn, TechnipFMC, Sage and Birchwood Park. The business is independently owned by the Stewart family; Cheryl Stewart was appointed CEO in June 2024, succeeding her father Ron Stewart Jnr, who passed away in August 2025.
