McGoff & Vickers, a longstanding building services company in Merseyside, is poised for growth following a strategic infrastructure investment. The company, which operates with a revenue of £10 million, has outlined its expansion plans after a significant transition period.
Core Competency Focus
According to David Poole, Director of McGoff & Vickers, concentrating on core competencies is pivotal for the company's future. Poole stated, "We have invested heavily in employees and marketing but not before we put all the procedures in place to support our expansion plans." The company is headquartered in Bootle, with additional offices located in London.
Adapting Through Innovation
McGoff & Vickers' growth strategy includes securing new business with clients adapting to technological and environmental challenges, such as energy efficiency and emissions. Since its inception in 1925, the company has evolved significantly. Today, they employ over 100 staff members and have integrated technology advancements to enhance their service, as Poole explained. "All of our security engineers now use PDAs which has bolstered our customer service levels to new heights. It's a far cry from the way we used to do things when we began in 1925," he added.
Regional Integration
The company has also implemented a standardized brand approach across its service sectors, reinforcing its identity as a comprehensive building services provider in the North West. "We already act as principal contractor for many clients," Poole remarked.
This unified branding supports cross-selling to both new and established clients, including institutions like Pierhead Housing Association, Edge Hill University, the Office of National Statistics, LJMU, and HSBC. Historically focused on the healthcare sector in London, working with entities like the Royal Free Hospital and BUPA, McGoff & Vickers now plans to expand healthcare services in the North West region.

Regional Integration
McGoff & Vickers has also adopted a uniform brand approach across their different service sectors
McGoff & Vickers has also adopted a uniform brand approach across their different service sectors to re-affirm their one stop shop status as pioneer building services suppliers in the North West. "We already act as principal contractor for many clients," maintains Poole.
Poole believes this will enable the company to capitalise on cross selling with new and existing clients that include Pierhead Housing Association, Edge Hill University, the Office of National Statistics, LJMU, 20-20, Merseyside Police Authority, Anchor Housing, LHT, HSBC and Merseycare NHS.
Indeed, health care had previously been a London specialism within a company portfolio that included the Royal Free Hospital, the Royal Marsden Hospital, and BUPA. The plan now is believed to be to expand this sector in the North West.
