AMEC Facilities has announced a new management structure for its resident business unit which will increase flexibility to its account management structure and improve customer service.

Alan Horton has been appointed as General Manager, taking full responsibility for the operation and management of the FM Business Unit. Alan has experience in the maintenance and FM industry, more recently holding senior operations posts at Rentokil Initial Management and Europa Facility Services.

The changes will more clearly focus reporting lines by enlarging AMEC Facilities' three Business units to four, splitting one of the current Resident Services Business Units into two separate profit centres, each with its own management structure. AMEC Facilities is part of AMEC, the international capital projects, services and investment group which generated a turnover of £3.4 billion in 1998.
