Q3’s sustainable business model pays dividends
Q3 is reporting another successful year’s trading, having finalised its 2023-24 annual accounts and completed its sixth year of successive growth in the facilities management…
Read MoreQ3 recently announced an extension of its facilities management contract with Maximus to 2028, extending across some 160 locations.
In an interesting twist, Maximus, the specialist health and employability service organisation has in turn, been supporting Q3 on its cleaning contract with the London Borough of Redbridge.
When our own recruitment efforts could not identify a suitable candidate for the challenging role of Cleaning Supervisor at Aldersbrook school in Wanstead, Rona Nicoll, Maximus’s Engagement Advisor for Adult Skills Funding, stepped in.
Working with Chris Finch the Q3 Contract Manager, Rona placed an advert for the role, screened suitable applicants and came up trumps with prime candidate Dorota Jazebek. Dorota has already settled quickly into her new role and is now a valued and much-liked member of the team.
Rona explained, “Maximus works directly with the London business community to open doors to meaningful employment for people with disabilities, by enhancing their skills through our fully funded courses. Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Q3, helping their employees gain new skills and access to opportunities. Q3 shows both a strong dedication to inclusion and disability support and a commitment to employee development, which suits us perfectly.”
Chris Finch of Q3 said, “Rona and Claire Roberts, Maximus’ Operations Director, have been so helpful and have a wealth of knowledge on the resources available to help disadvantaged people into employment. We have always sought to create a supportive and inclusive environment for our workforce, and this is a value that Maximus and Q3 share. This is certainly a partnership we want to build on!”
