Changing the UK Maintenance Industry – DMA Group’s Vision and the Role of Our Non-Executive Directors

At DMA Group, our vision is resolute: powered by our expertise and cutting-edge technology, we are making buildings work better and reshaping the UK maintenance industry for the better – and for good.

Transforming our company to become a disruptor in our field has been no small feat. It’s taken immense hard work, resilience, and vision. But we haven’t done it alone. To accomplish our vision, we rely on a diverse team that combines hands-on expertise with a breadth of strategic insight – a balance perfected by our Non-Executive Directors. Our Non-Executive Directors are a valued part of our leadership, shaping the future of DMA Group and setting a new standard for the industry.

Bringing Objectivity to Decision-Making

Our Non-Executive Directors offer something that’s often difficult to maintain internally – an independent, external perspective. Free from daily operational pressures, they bring a fresh, objective view on our strategies and goals, allowing us to identify potential blind spots. This kind of unbiased insight is invaluable, as it helps to ensure our decisions are well-rounded, strategic, and aligned with our long-term objectives.

Guiding Strategic Growth and Innovation

As we pursue transformational change, our Non-Executive Directors provide the strategic guidance to ensure that we grow sustainably and innovatively. Each brings expertise from sectors ranging from finance and media to logistics and business services, helping us navigate new markets, spot trends, and implement technology solutions like our BiO® platform. Their knowledge is critical to our journey of disrupting the industry with smarter, more efficient solution

Leveraging Connections and Expertise

In addition to their strategic input, our Non-Executive Directors bring an expansive network of contacts and a wealth of industry knowledge, opening doors to potential partnerships and opportunities. Their connections have proven instrumental as we expand our reach and evolve our offerings, helping us connect with the right people, investors, and organisations that support our vision.

In short, our Non-Executive Directors are more than advisors – they’re champions of our mission, inspiring and challenging us to think bigger, act smarter, and stay true to our purpose of making buildings work better. As we continue to lead change in our industry, their insights and expertise are at the core of every success, guiding us towards a future where we set the standard for excellence in our industry.
