ACM MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED

What ACM MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED does

ACM Management Solutions Ltd is a privately held UK asbestos consultancy headquartered in Burton-on-Trent, founded in 2002 by Managing Director Joseph Gillan, who has worked in asbestos abatement since the 1980s. The company delivers asbestos surveying and compliance services across all UK property markets, including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, defence, local authority and demolition/redevelopment, operating under the UK's Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the HSE's HSG264 survey guidance. Its core services comprise three survey types - management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys, and re-inspection surveys - delivered by BIOH P402-qualified surveyors with a minimum of five years of experience, with sample analysis provided through a UKAS accredited laboratory.

Its technology stack centres on a proprietary electronic Asbestos Data Management Database that records, controls and distributes asbestos occurrence data across property portfolios, integrated with AutoCAD plans showing inspections and ACM (asbestos-containing materials) locations, and a separate online e-learning platform licensed from VideoTile Learning Ltd for RoSPA and IATP certified Category A asbestos awareness training. The company also runs classroom-based training and an asbestos consultancy offering covering compliance audits, asbestos management plans, procurement and project management of asbestos removal works. Accreditations include ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor, Constructionline, ARCA membership and a CRB-checked workforce for sensitive sites such as schools, hospitals and naval facilities.

ACM earns revenue through project-based professional services for surveying and consultancy (with named enterprise case studies such as Wilkinsons across 59 sites, Land Rover's 115-building Solihull plant over 308 acres, and HMS Ark Royal at Portsmouth Naval Dockyard), per-seat online training at £25+VAT for the standard course and £35+VAT for the manager module, volume discounts on 50+ course purchases, and licensing/installation of the Asbestos Data Management Database for property portfolio managers. Distribution is layered across direct enterprise field sales, a product-led self-serve e-learning channel with global reach via VideoTile, and white-label service delivery on behalf of select professional service providers.
