MEET THE TEAM

The GMC team are the cornerstone of our success within the property maintenance industry.

We are all committed to providing exceptional customer service and property maintenance services to all our clients. Clear communication, great service and exceeding our clients’ expectations are at the heart of everything we do. We work hard to build trust with new clients and take great pride in retaining clients for many years. Some of these have worked hand in hand with GMC for over 20 years.

Always at the end of a phone ready to help, now you know what we look like too!

• Owner Denise has worked in the property maintenance market since 1991 and has been with GMC since the business began. In 2003 she was given the opportunity to take over the company, which she grabbed with both hands. In the first few years Denise increased GMC's turnover 4 fold and has not looked back. In 2014 she purchased and refurbished a 2,000ft² office building in Littlehampton for her and the team.
  Denise loves being hands on and gets a buzz from utilising her years of experience and contacts to help clients. Denise makes the most of the time away from her desk, spending valuable time with her family, going to the cinema and playing tennis.

• Geoff became an operational part of the General Maintenance team in 2007. His role involves travelling around the UK to meet contractors and carry out quality control, amongst other things. Prior to joining GMC Geoff's career was in landscape gardening, having run his own landscaping business before marrying Denise. Geoff then took a few years out to raise their daughter before joining GMC.
  Geoff is a very passionate Liverpool FC supporter, loves his Ducati motorbike (according to Denise he spends more time polishing it than riding it!) and his Indian Runner Ducks. Geoff is a keen cyclist who loves taking on cycling charities in the UK and abroad and has through his passion, raised funds for both local and national children’s charities.
