Liverpool property consultancy The Momentum Group appoints new director to its facilities management division

Matthew Pilling has joined The Momentum Group in Liverpool as director at its facilities management business.

He joins the property consultancy from GeoBear Global where he was managing director for residential. He also worked at BNP Paribas, Incentive FM, Cloudfm and at Engie where he led on the US Air Force FM contract for all nine of its UK bases.

And, in another role at Capita, Matthew headed up its portfolio of more than 250 London properties.

In his new role he will help Momentum deliver its five-year growth plan. This will include implementing sustainable facilities management practices and efficiencies through new innovation.

“The Momentum Group has huge growth potential, and I am looking forward to applying my experience and knowledge to deliver the company’s vision,” said Matthew.

“It is a unique set up in that it offers multiple services, advisory, build and property management alongside FM. This is an exciting opportunity to grow the FM division such that it makes a significant contribution to the group as a whole.”

This announcement comes as Momentum continues a period of expansion which has seen its team and office space more than double in the last year.

Operating four commercial businesses, Advise, Build, Manage and Maintain, The Momentum Group has recently created Contribute as the fifth arm of the business.

Its clients include Grosvenor at Liverpool ONE, Queensbury at Metquarter, Redevco, Schroders and Appreciate Group.

Its FM portfolio includes Runcorn Shopping City and a number of Liverpool’s landmark buildings, including The Keel, The Princes Building and Glenbrook’s One Temple Square.
